Default next mods to my 91 gt 5sp?

ok well i bought this car as a street/strip dd. it has o/r hpipe, magnaflows, k&n filter, gears (not sure,i think 4.10)and im about to get a cobra upper and lower intake if my buddy will give it up lol.

im lookin at focusing on some suspension mods next but on a junkyard budget. ive been doing research on 4 cyl springs but everyone seems to have mixed opinions. will they help me hook up and still give me descent ride quality? when i say descent, i mean, i really dont care too much as long as im not sliding off the road in a turn. what other susp. mods should i look into?

also, on kind of another topic, is my rear blown up if i can do a one-wheel-wonder burnout?

not blown up, just worn out, possibly broken, but probably wornout need a trac-lok rebuild

still stock headers ??? go long tubes
4.10's for sure? raise it and count the turns, if yes get a set of et streets and take advanatge of it
don't bother w/ an intake, it's a 7hp upgrade on a stock headed 5.0 no matter what ne1 says, but if you can get a deal just sit on it
traction/suspension ? megabite jr's all day long, just use stock springs and bag the right side, it'll hook like a ****** and handle better than stock
after that squirt it

you can go 12's on a junkyard budget all day long, for about $700-$1200 depending whats used or not

thanks for the link, is that price for a pair and you only put one on the right side or what? Also,how does it preload the suspension? I guess I'm just confused how it works but I only have control arms now, that's as far as I've gotten on my suspension.

8 psi works good, any more it will start to raise that side, it'll hook harder, but look lopsided

8 will keep it pretty flat on a hard launch.
