Default What to do next to a d16y8 all motor

Right now I have a d16y8 with an aem short ram intake, dc 4-1 ceramic header, and an hks hiper exhaust. What should be my next upgrade? I was thinking of a new high flow cat and a skunk 2 intake manifold.

I don't want to turbo this car. I want a little more hp and then in a couple of years i will buy a brand new one and start over. Then I will put a turbo.

Both Cat's are good quality. The problem is people put these on, don't tune them, their car runs rich, the richened mixture breaks down the catalyst and it falls apart and people wonder why chunks are falling out of there exhaust.
