Default 5.3L RWHP question

Ok so I have a 2008 Chevy silverado crew cab with these mods
Cam, headers, AFE CAI, 3000 circle d stall, tune, and 373's
I'm putting down 360 horse to the wheels how much more will a fast lsxrt intake with a NW 102 give me with this setup? Would it be worth buying it?

I would think there is a lot more to gain from ported heads at a very similar price point to the FAST and 102 TB.

Those mods are worth power for sure... but it is very dependent on the cam. If you have a smaller cam that doesn't rev very high then the gains wont be as large as if you have a big one and rev it out to 6800 RPM.

1,300 for a budget head gets you 30-40 HP. (including gaskets/bolts/fluid etc)
1,500 for a 6.0 gets you 60-70 HP.

math says get a 6.0 IMO.
