I didn't realize you were running 3.55 gears. More gear and you're probably there.

I re-read the article in the 5.0 magazine last night and the TFS Track heat resulted in a gain of 18 HP, but moved the peak power up almost 400 RPMS. With your 3.55 gears, a change in intake may hurt your performance. You won't be in your peak power-band enough.

Have you ever dyno-tuned your car? That's the best way to make sure you're tuned for max performance.
