Default more top end?

I have a 94 LT1 c4 with cold air induction. i use it for a track car. I am very happy with the car except for top end power. Its a manual with 3.42 rear. What are some ideas to get a little more power at high speed. It was dyno'd with 300 rwhp.
thanks Leebo

Cam head/intake porting and longtubes.
Spend money on the best tuning you can. Too many cheap out on that and pay the price.

What are your current mods? You didn't get 300 rwhp with just a CAI.

I bought the car from some racers who had a 500hp race motor in it. They sold the motor seperate and put in a stock LT1 back in it for a track car.They took the place where the front lisc. plate would be and cut it out and put wire over it and made a funnel out of it (very impressive work),they ported the intake and exhaust manifold and has 3" pipes with flowbastards on the back (thinking about replacing those ). That's the only mods on the engine.Oh , and they put and older style computer on it that is supposed to be easier to program.
thanks Leebo
