KA-T needs more POWAH!

Looking to get more power out of my setup, but I'm not sure what to do next. Some of my options are below.

1997 ka24de
stock rods
wiseco 9:1 forged pistons
ARP headstuds
OEM head gasket
stock cams
stock intake manifold
JWT ECU
z32 maf
555cc nismo injectors
revhard copy cast manifold
3" HKS sport exhaust
high-flow cat
35mm tial wastegate recirculated
FMIC
57 trim t3/t4 .63 a/r
12 psi

dyno'd at 268whp/283tq a long time ago.

I've always tried to keep this car somewhat quiet and streetable avoiding catless exhausts and screamer pipes. The car has pretty good response and pulls hard, but it feels like the power drops off quick after 6000 rpms. I know the turbo manifold, stock s14 cams and intake manifold are all to blame.

If you could only do one of these options, what would you do?
-bigger injectors, AEM v.1 with more boost (JWT is running pretty rich on boost AFR's are in the 10's)
-bigger cams (will it make a difference on this Flintstone-tech cast manifold?)
-Change cast manifold for ram horn tubular
-___________?
