Default now what do i do?

alright i got an 89 lx with gt40 aluminum heads, 1.7 rockers, b303 ford racing cam, with a gt40 intake manifold, BBK 70mm throttle body, 80mm mass air and 24 pound injectors. Pulleys, BBK Shorty headers full exhaust with flowmaster.

So what could I do now as in addition or replacement of what I got on the car now. About to install 4.10 gears and that all i got..... any ideas would help.

cam swap as stated, if custom floats your boat, that'd be my first choice

The B cam has some narrow seat time but little lift and is an old design.A new cam would probably wake things up.
If that doesn't suit ya',I say rear suspension work and some good rubber to hook it up.Driveshaft loop on the cheap side.Adjustable bars on the expensive side.
Ah hell add some spray!

awesome stuff, What do you guys think of a 331 stroker kit with around a 10:1 compression then adding some boost later on. I agree with the cams. i am leaning towards e303 cams any ideas, how would those work with boost?

Why do people even consider these garbage "letter cams" anymore. There are FAR better choices out there. Custom is always going to be the best bet.
