Default What should I do next?

I just had a h/c package installed by 21MC and I love it. I'm putting 421 HP to the wheels now. I'm wondering what HP upgrade path I should take in the future so I can start saving some pennies. I guess it will be a year or so before my wallet recovers from the current purchases.

I done some reading and it seems like the Maggie and h/c packages kinda work against each other.

Can the forum give me some suggestions based on their experience? Street drivability is a must for me. Of course, I'd like to take the most cost effective approach possible...I know its kinda an oxymoron to ask for cost effective mods.

What about...

- more cubes
- vortech/ati/mag superchargers
- twins
- or just going to a different cam

Thanks.

My Vette is equipped with Z51 so it has the 3.42 gears, which I really like. I might consider 3.73s but for as much street driving as I do the 3.42s seem perfect.

Thanks for pointing out the sig omission. I'll correct that.

The specs of the cam are Single Pattern 228/588/114 XER Lobes.

Here's a link to the dyno if interested.
