Default hmm wats next

i want to mod my stang a bit more to get some more kick. ive dynoed the stang and it made 217 hp and 283 tq to the rear wheels. thats with CAI, a full mac exhaust bumped timing and i also have 3 73. i have a few questions though

the previous owner told me that its got mac headers on it, i know after the headers its all 2.5" mac exhaust, but the headers im not sure. they are really brown as if there the originals, how can i check to see if there not stock, i cant see MAC anywhere on them.

ive been reading alot about the throttle bodies, is it worth it to upgrade to a 65mm on an 88, is there any power benefits?

and lastly what else can i do to get more kick are there any other minor bolt ons to get power or do i have to start throwing on HCI stuff

You can tell if the the headers are stockers pretty easily, are the tubes all crimped up on them? if so they are stock.

nope no real gains with that besides if you got a stock intake....wait until you get a performance one and match a TB to the opening on that

+1 and depending upon the budget would determine the mods.

Don't both with the TB, MAF, if you're not doing the upper/lower intake.
