Default Looking for next best "Bang For Buck" part

Alright, so as it currently stands, My 93 GT has BBK intake, BBK UDP's, Cobra UIM/LIM, BBK 70mm TB, Summit Racing shorty ceramic headers, BBK O/R X pipe, and flowmaster cat-back. Basically im nearly done with bolt on's, and im lookin at my next best part to go with performance wise. Also, at what stage do i need to upgrade fuel injectors and do some sort of chipping? Im used to 4 cylinders, Rotary's, and carbed V8's. Is the computer adaptable enough for more bolt on's? At what point should i upgrade the MAF? thanks!

do gears go with 3.73's or 4.10's

Then do head camintake swap (HCI). Next mod I would do after gears is some dr's Niittos if its a dd or mickeys if its a weekend car.

I do have a ZEX N2O kit that i pulled off my ford ZX2, its a wet kit with 55,65, and 75 jets. What brand MAF should i go with? I also have a question as to weither or not a newer style cobra 90mm MAF would work fine if i switched the electronics on the top and just used the housing? (im guessing no)

try anderson ford motorsports load io mass air... ITs a 90mm mass air from a lightning with the wiring harness to switch over, and a little electronical control unit that allows you to switch between 19-52 # injectors... i have it and havnt had any trouble so far

Im actually looking at a C&L 73mm MAF, but im not sure as to if i should go with stock 19# injector calibration or if i should shell out the extra cash and upgrade to 24# injectors at the same time. Any ideas?
