I can follow most of your mods list, but out of pure curiosity what are the blue top solenoids? I'm guessing a gearbox mod as our boxes were also used in AMGs.

One day I'll do a pulley change on mine, just so I can tell people it's 400 or so BHP rather than 370 as that sounds a better figure. It's quick enough for me already really.

It’s kinda like when you modify any engine really and you know at some point you’re going to need to feed it more fuel. What do you do? You start by upgrading the fuel pump. I knew I was going to put a smaller blower pulley on and an oversized harmonic balancer for more boost. Having a 3.5” MAF (and 3.5” intake tube) with very little air resistance inside the MAF means the blower has to work less due to less air restriction. However, I know that there are many, many other restrictions between the air filter and exhaust tips which I won’t get into.
I have all the same mods which is what's got me looking at the MAF. The Heaton desperately needs an open intake behind it. I see you have a tuned ECU from Eurotek. Is that company still in business? I haven't had any luck finding someone who can tune these cars.

I actually bought the ECU from a parted out XJR in marketplace (Jag forum). I can’t definitively tell you if it made a difference or not but, I did run across this thread.
