Thoughts? Evo 9 setup.........

Right now my car is feeling underpowered. I'm thinking, I am lacking a few parts to really utilize my setup. What are your thoughts?

Current:
18,500 miles on stock plugs
Stock paper Intake filter
Full Race single scroll GT30r
Full Race manifold
Full Race 3" downpipe
780cc Precision Injectors
Dual Full blown walbro pumps (only 1 pump setup)
93 Octane Pump
Stock Clutch (no issues here yet)

Thoughts for maximizing setup:
In additions to setup above:
ETS 3.5 inch Intercooler or Full Race Vertical Intercooler
Upper Intercooler Pipe
Forge BOV (not sure if this will help or not)
Denso 1 step colder plugs
K&N Drop-in Intake Filter

Thoughts please on what I might be missing?

Im feeling right now the car is under 320whp, Im only hoping for 360-380whp at 22psi on pump gas.

Yeah, Its been breaking up lately. I believe due to spark issues. Im thinking plugs. I just ordered some densos for it. I think my stock filter is pretty dirty also.

I tuned it. Ill post the maps and whatnot.

No knock. Under 11.5a/f under boost.

Air flow is not being maximized with the stock intake and intercooler. Those will be your best bet to get more horsepower, but it has to be retuned also, and a good tune. I don't know if you are using a dyno when you tune it or a seat of the pants tune, but you should try and get it one a dyno to get the most out of it.

It does look bad *** with the stock air box though. I when a motor appears stock but isn't. Ex: Mines GTR, 500hp with stock air box.

I had a 4 inch to 3 inch pipe that bolted to the MAF, but the MAF kept reading incorrectly so I used stock airbox.

your set up is kinda wierd,,, meaning you have a nice turbo with the stock air box at leat run a drop in,,, i would get an intake,, although it seems like you are getting it,,, than get an ETS 3" intercooler,,,, and get jestrtunning.com to custome flash your car and youll be set

Definately ditch the stock airbox and get a FMIC (get 3.5in one also...3in is for stockish turbo). Also if you dont already have a LICP get one...your Turbo setup should have came with one though. Whats your boost set at? For having a 30R you are making less power than I am when you should be over 400whp.

I would suggest getting cams - HKS 272s, complete ETS IC Kit, replace the stock air box with a BR filter (great bang for the buck) and get a TUNE! See what you think then... I bet you sh** your pants. The stock DV (bov) will be fine until you run over 28'ish PSI boost.
