OTR..?
Question is what power do you want and whats your budget?NOS?
What spec cam? OEM heads and intake are crud in the LS2.
450rwhp isnt that hard. But needs some effort in the wallet zone for decent heads and as Roger says fast intake then just cam till you hit power requirement.
No budget = no power.
No goal = no point.

What you have (intake) is plenty good enough. FAST Intake manifold would be next id suggest. But your gains are only going to get smaller from here.
Id be happy with what you have.
That Sounds Expensive Id be happy with what you have.
Would I feel the difference..?
Who said I wasn't Happy...
I AM Happy
...Just curious about what could be / can be done..?

Give us a call mate, but seriously, id think about dropping the diff ratio in preference to the laws of diminishing returns of major engine surgery.Would I feel the difference..?

NOS will give you the biggest bang for your buck. Not sure it's the best, but could be worth considering. 
Small Booty, No Roomy 
BTW, a 10lb bottle is 20.5" long, with valve, and 7" in diameter. Now tell me you don't have room.

FI FTW!
Just to stir Richard!
I think us NA lads will still show you lot a thing or two, ok headline figures might be lower on the dyno but 500NA is better than 600FI! Its like empty calories FI isJust to stir Richard!

Hmmn ratio change = faster acceleration = lower top end (that I don't use) Food for Thought ARAF said:

Pretty sure I put sul in at texaco btw, trouble I have is how will I know if that sorts it? Far too worried to push the car at the moment, getting to monkfish is not that easy to plug it in so to speak, could change the knock sensors for the hell of it I suppose!

It was working fine below about 3k though, wasn't it? If so, then I can't see a problem with moving it to Mf. If it shouldn't be used, then £300 to transport it up there could be money well spent.

It's a lot better to find out now, than after a catastrophic failure. Shame I didn't get chance to speak to you after the run. I'm guessing you were gutted, but you didn't show it. Hopefully it's an easy fix.
without any scan tool changing the knock sensor you'll not even know
its only going to be a major issue on wot situations and I know its an arse to get to MF BUT you know theres a problem that could cost 10k if it goes bang. If you had a scan tool you could check the timing and KR and even potentially determine if there is a misfire (though you'd hear it and mf would have mentioned it), then you can change the sensor and test.
either way its money but one of the ways will cost more but comes with a little bit of reassurance
