Wow 70 hp from a cai and tune, thats pretty impressive. Who did your tune? 375 is a good amount of power on a 5.3 without spray or boost, IMO. Your next mod needs to be a set of LT headers and y-pipe to bolt up to the cat back. After that, a really large cam might get you close but a stall will definitely be needed, probably a set of heads too. I'd shoot for 350whp, or spray it.
