Default What should I do next?

I have a 96 mustang Gt, bought it a month ago in not thegreatest shape....
Have put new catted x pipe/ american thunder exhaust,BBKCAI, New Spark plugs, Ignition wires, Tyres, Rims, Seats and just given it some care.
What modsdo you think I should do next?
I guess im lookin to spend about 5 or 600 bucks.
I was looking at pulleys, and also is there any point in a 180, or 160 degree thermostat or not really?

Also the gauges have been tinkered with and are off quite a lot, about 10 mph and a quarter tank of fuel= empty! does anyone know how to reset them?

Thanks

First of all, what are you going to do with the car? In other words, are you trying to build a dragger, road racer, auto-xer or cruiser?

No point in changing the tstat unless you going with forced induction to better cooling and more timing.

if you do a lot of highway driving or highway racing, get 373 or 390s, if not, get 4.10 or 430s. AS far as the gauges, what I did is fill up, pull the needle off and put it where it should go. With the speedo, I put it on cruise at 40MPH on a dyno and pulled the needle and stabbed it at 40
