Intake manifold leak

I gotta pull the intake off to fix a leaking manifold gasket. I'm wondering if there are any worth while upgrades while its off. I'm new to the 5.8l but have lots of experience with the 7.3 stroke. I know it won't ever run the powerstroke but it really needs some more power. I already did the 6 litre tune up and a flowmaster. It's a 93 with the speed density

Once you've been spoiled by an "uptuned" 7.3, the 351W will always dissappoint you. Been there, done that with both my 99 PS SD F250 and a 95 F150 with a roller cammed 351W that I went thru before selling it off to keep the 99. I added shorty headers, 1.7 Cobra roller rockers, removed the Thermactor bumps from the exhaust ports, plugged the EGR, hollowed out the front cat, removed the rear cat, ran a free-er flowing exhaust, etc. Granted the 351 was hobbled by the 3.08 rear, but it never really satisfied my after the 7.3.
