Whats next?91GT- expert advice?

[bloopbloob]

Just looking for some advice on whats next? Just getting into the whole mustang scene and the hp bug has bit!! Rebuilt engine last year (back to stock plus p&p heads) which i know isnt the way to go but i didnt have the $$ or interest then.
Mods in sig, with subframes, ud pullies,water pump, 76mm c&l maf system, 70mm tb & spacer. Wheres the next place to start. I do plan on eventually getting some afr's, u/l manifold (suggestions???), and 3:73 gears, but those are all pretty expensive.... just wondering if there's any smaller stuff i could get some good gains from first, and then with the bigger stuff any suggestions? I'm a student living in an apartment, so the big jobs are not something i'm capable of doing myself currently..... but i do like to do as much as i can.
any mistakes i've made so far?

I'm by far an expert, but I can give some little advice.

Make sure that your upper intake tract, where the throttle body/egr plate bolt-up is matched to your intake opening.

Also, you could have the lower ported to match your heads. It will run you not to much over a $100 bucks and a man by the name of tmoss on this site can do it for you.

If you want to buy a new intake, something around the Edelbrock Performer or Street/Track Heat intake is nice for the price and flows good for a heads and cam equipped car.

AFR's are a good head choice, good pickings there along with other good heads out there.

you could get an explorer intake for pretty cheap...$100-200 depending on which one you get. some come w/ egr capabilities, some do not. then you'll have to start saving for the more expensive stuff: gears, cyl heads, etc. don't bother with a cam until you get the cylinder heads.

save youre money and do the gears that will be the best bang for the buck you will feel a major difference. Does your car have stock gears currently?

 

[bloopbloob]

yeah. 2:73's. i know gears are pretty much the 1st mod to be done, but i dont think its something i can do myself, and most places around here want about 800 or 900 to install, which i think is BS. Ford dealership told me $700-800 for the parts and almost another $1000 for install. I pretty much told them that they can go f*** themselves. Told them i've seen FRPP 3:73s for $170 american all over the net, and they pretty much called me a liar....

Do a lot of research on the net and do the gears yourself. Its not that hard, you do need a few specialized tools that are not expensive. If your old bearings are good, the most it will cost you is ~$250 for gear set, parts and tools.

the only way to feel some power from here is to do the big stuff you mentioned.. I say start with gears also
