Default What's next

Ok, so here is the question that I have been trying to answer, maybe you guys can put me in the right direction.

My Car:
2002 GT 36k miles
stock 4.6

K&N FIPK
BBK Underdrive Pulleys
FRPP 3.73 gears
B&N Ripper Shifter
Trick Flow Upper Intake Plenum
BBK 75mm Throttle Body
BBK H-Pipe w/ High Flow Cats
SLP Loudmouth Cat-Back Exhaust
Zex Nitrous Kit 125hp shot

Heres my question

I have about $3k to spend. Trying to figure out what I should do. Should I spend the money on more parts, if so, what? Should I save for an S/C, not too far to go there? Or should I wait, and buy a new motor? Maybe I should just stroke mine?

spend money on suspension mods now and save for a supercharger and forged internals cuz once you have a taste of 8 lbs of boost you will want to crank it up and with forged internals you will not have to worry bout the bottom end.

Thanks guys, I think I've got it. I've asked in several different places and recieved pretty much the same answer. I've got my direction now.

Suspension
forged
then s/c or more juice



Thanks for the help
