Talking More Power????

I currently have a 94' F150 shortbed with a 351w and E4OD tranny. So far i have the following upgrades:

K&N Intake
Ford Motorsports Shorty Headers
Dual Flowmaster Exhaust (40 series), no cats, 2.5" pipe
Ford Motorsports 9mm Plug Wires
Diablo Sport 3 stage computer tuner
Nitrous Express Nitrous kit (wet system)
4:10 gears.

The truck has a 6" Lift with 35" Tires. I dont ever really use the nitrous and i am looking for more power. I dont have the cash right now for a top end kit, or a supercharger, and i wasnt quire sure how the computer would respond to a cam change, and exactly how much horse i would even gain. I know on my bronco with a 302 it had speed density air flow which basically meant that i couldnt do much for motor work without converting to mass air flow, from which i understand isnt cheap. Just looking for some advice on some power, how much of a differnece it would make, and what would actually work. Thanks for the help.

Well if your on a tight budget, I say keep your money....save up until you can do something dramatic like add heads, compression(?), more cubic inches or forced induction. If its a 4X4 forced induction or added cubic inches would be something I might look into.

Good luck
