More Power...

Alright, I've been craving some extra power and I'm not sure how to go about it. So far these are my mods, supercharger, lca, true dual exhaust w/ x pipe, 4.10 gears, and it has been dyno tuned. I'm sure there might be something I left out, but for now that's all I can remember. Right now horsepower to the wheels is 315. Not sure on the torque, I don't remember what the dyno sheet said it was. I'm just not sure what else to add, except more suspension. I've heard headers don't add much horsepower, or a new throttle body so I haven't invested in those. If anyone else has any ideas please share. The car needs to be street legal though...

Well obviously a v8 would make more power(well stock to stock) , and I can't afford to change the supercharger set up to anything else yet..but maybe the cam, does anyone know how much I would gain from swapping to a lighter more efficient cam?

doing cams on a v6 is a tough gig. need to remove the engine to get to the timing gears. one side is on the frt, one side is on the back. and you need the special tools to do it. then its really hard to find someone to grind them. supersixmotorsports sells cams and heads for a few grand or so( just the parts)

Well that sounds expensive, is it really worth it though?

Well what else would be worth it? I realized that even with the supercharger, I still probably have about 30-45hp that can be freed up by upgrading the n/a parts of the engine...but I'm guessing that would be like 20 more hp to the wheels? So where do I start..?
