Default Any Ideas for more power

Anyone got any ideas, other than turning up the boost or building the enigne, or see anything I left out that can get me some more power/torque. So far I have:

APS TT kit (@ 9psi) with APS exhaust
Kinetix SSV manifold
JWT Clutch/Flywheel combo
UR Crank Pulleys
APS Test Pipes (being installed next week)

So is there anything obvious I've left out. Anyone got any suggestions. I'll post a dyno sheet after I get my test pipes installed and the car tuned.

Lets see the final dyno sheet first, and then decide for yourself if you NEED to make more power.

Haha, yeah. My first dyno before the lightweight pulleys, flywheel and test pipes (getting installed next week) was at 397bhp. I'm hoping for closer to 430bhp after all of this but we'll see.

you need a piggy back or a reflash.. dyno your car to see what condition it's in. your power curve may be all over the place as well as your A/F. you hear any detonation, sudden/slight loss of power at certan rpm etc.?
