What to do now?

if you already don't have them, get some subframe connectors and some rear control arms for better handling/traction and less flexxing.

An aftermarket shifter to keep that T-5 in check (Pro5.0 or Hurst etc $160+)

Pull out the A/C if you can handle the heat (FRPP p/s bracket $45) ~ drops about 50-60 lbs off the nose and relieves about 5-10 horses.

Aluminum driveline (FRPP $160) ~ drops 7+lbs and frees up about 5hp; eliminates most vibrations at higher speeds.

Install a fender mount CAI (BBK $160) ~ adds 3-7hp

Install underdrive pullies ($100) ~ frees up 8-15hp

Buy a Dart all aluminum block with h/c/i combo, boost with 12psi and make well over 500rwhp ($priceless)

Yeah, I agree with everything the other guys said. Shifter is a big one, get one and you'll know what I'm talking about, trust me. The a/c also does shave weight off the front end (but its more like 30-35 lbs.) Subframe connectors are a must.....fox bodies are known for flexing chassis'. Driveshaft you might wanna get now if you're serious about more hp in the future. They're cheap right now but they're gonna go up in price big time very shortly ($100 US price raise). You could get an upper and lower intake along with a bigger throttle body. Lot's of guys say it will give you no gains without heads and cam, but I disagree, you just won't gain as MUCH.....then you won't have as much to buy when you do a heads/cam swap (if you're going to)

wow this is easy heads,blower,cam, why stay small? do it once do it right.

That's a big price jump though; out of my price range. If you have extra money you can send it to me though
