Default 01 Dakota just got Heads, next??

Ok so need some help guys.
Here's what I got and I just don't think I am getting the power I should have, any suggestions let me know, thanks.
01 Dakota 360 awd then it has the switch for 4wd, (makes it not as fun haha)
Custom Exhaust 2.5 inch from cats
AirRaid CAI
Hypertech Programmer
New Edelbrock Heads Model 61779

Still feel like it is very restricted, what else can I do or change?
Hypertech isn't very usefull, anything I can get that you recommend or a tune from someone?
BIgger Injectors??

Thanks for any help

360 should have alot of potential. If you have new heads, I think you need to compliment them with headers and a decent intake and TB to make them useful.....the stock intake and exhaust manifolds are boat anchors so i'm led to believe.

those heads arent going to do you any good if you cant get any air to them. you already have a CAI, so you need a bigger TB, probably 52x2 mm. Then you need an aftermarket intake. an M1 2 barrell should do the trick. then do headers.

yep, and what ratio RR's do you have? if its 1.6 you could look into 1.7. headers would help for sure, even if its just some shorties.
