Default Whats next?

I'm looking to take the engine up another notch in my car.Here is where i'm at-
~1968 302 Block bored .40 over
~Flat top psitons custom cut for valve clearance
~ 351 Windsor heads with 2.02"/1.60" stainless valves
~ARP studs and guide plates
~ Comp push rods
~Comp springs
~Comp retainers
~Comp cam
~Centerforce dual friction clutch
~Centerforce flywheel
~Adjustable clutch column
~BBK underdrive pulleys
~March power steering pulley
~BBK shorty headers
~5-bolt all around w/ prostars
~Sub frame connectors

What would be the next step. I want to bump the timing. What should i put it to. What would be the next step performance wise?

I'm surprised that you haven't bumped the timing yet, just that alone is going to make a huge difference. Set it at 14-15 degrees with the spout connector out. I'd get to work on your suspension.

Upper and Lower rear control arms
Springs
Shocks and struts
drag radials

What kind of subframes are you using?

i got some slicks already. will that timing work well with 91 octane? i can't remember exactly what kind of frames they are...i think rj chassis? idk should know being there are big *** stickers on the side of em haha. i haven't really done much with the motor besides tear it apart. it has been like a gold mine. i picked up the motor in a mint 86 hatch and the guy was having money issues so i got it next to nothing and he had just had the engine built for it so i'm still learning whats all in it
