Question Looking for some HP, what next...

Not sure where to go next. I was thinking maybe a new cam, but with all the spun bearings being posted , I'm not sure if I want to go that route. I've got over 100,000 on the motor right now and I'm not sure how safe it would be. Then I thought about a Torque converter, or gears, but I don't really want to loose any of the drivability of the car, it's a daily driver. So where should I go with this thing? Times are in the sig both NA and N2O and here is a list of mods that got me there.

SLP Ram Air H.O. hood, GM Ram Air air box w/K&N, !MAF, !TB bypass, Air foil, PaceSetter headers, Cutout, Borla Tail section, Accel 300+, Accel extreme 9000 wires, Poly torque arm bushing, Spohn LCAs, B&M tranny cooler, Transgo, 160 Stat, !Fan switch, LT4 KM, GMPP LT4 1.6 rr, LT4 valve springs, BFG Dr's, CSI water pump, HPP for shift points and fans, !CAT, MAC rear support cover, Racetronix F-LT1 Fuel Pump, NX wet kit (100 Shot).

do a converter, tranny cooler and gears. You won't loose any drivability and maybe you'll loose 1 mpg. I saw no difference in mileage in my old z28 with a 3200 stall, and tranny cooler, but it was much more fun and took a few tenths off.
