At 5 lbs of boost i would guess thats a A-Trim not a S-Trim. The S-trim is 8-10 lbs of boost. First thing you should do is upgrade your fuel system and get rid of the FMU. Injectors and pump for sure. Regardless if you want to do it or not, thats what you should upgrade first. Then go to intake manifold, TB, MAF meter, Heads so on... Upgrading your fuel system would be cheaper then doing head(well atleast good heads) anyway.
