need advice on what to do next

hi everyone, im new to this site. A couple of months ago i bought a 2005 evo 8, and so far have put on the following mods:
-ACT race clutch
-Vibrant intake kit
-Invidia turboback exaust 3"
-Megan headers w/ 02 housing
-boost controller, boosting 21 psi
-FORGE blow off valve
- an ecu flash with 2 step set at 5650 rpm

my only complaint with the mods is that the headers make a high pitched noise when i floor it. i plan to get a dyno tune soon because i hear that can squeeze out an extra 15 hp. besides that i want to know what i should do next, i was thinking upgrading the intercooler? not sure what the next mod should be so any advice would be appreciated, btw i havnt been dynoed so if any of you know about about how much whp an evo 8 with these mods should have i'd like to know- thanks

Well you can always get a downpipe or a LICP.That will help a bit.

I'm hoping you already have a boost gauge...? but other than that.. Cams would be a good idea but of course you would need a new tune after that. Depends on your plans with the car. Personally i'd go for some looks and maybe drop it a little

the fuel pump does just that...it pumps fuel. You need to upgrade to a walbro 255 fuel pump.
