No throttle body upgrade until you enlarge the bottom end.

I would probably do headers and gears first, then change the cam to CC305, or you can always go to the LT4 Hotcam kit. Keep in mind that if you change cams you will need your computer reprogrammed.

Then I'd do head porting, and decide from there if I needed more.
