Default more power?

I have a Vortech SC, headers, high flow cats, plugs and exhaust but how can I safely get more power? I dynoed at 349hp at the wheels, I want to hit 400 or better.
Any help will be appreciated

Thanks.

doesnt the Vortech claim it puts out 412hp w/o all of the other stuff helping it out? If that is true, shouldn't you be putting out way more than 349?

I dont think any of the FI put out over 400 out of the box. He is probably running low boost, because he said how can he "safely" get more power. Building the engine would obviously help, but i'm not sure how safe/reliable that is.

You don't mention having it Dyno tuned. If you haven't you could squeeze some more power out of it (A/F). As an alternative the Techsquare reflash for the Vortech plus your other mods may also help.

I'm running the recomended 7.5 psi, but I've heard changing the pulleys and then tuning it you can get over 400whp. Anyone know what pulleys or know anybody that has done this.

Thanks
