Default What next after PI Swap

I finally got my 96 GT PI Swapped.

I had a leaking Head Gasket ( Oil Chamber ) So figured time to upgrade, I also had the PI Intake Installed along with a set of Ford Racing Shorty Headers, to go along with my Flowmaster Cat Back Exhaust & CAI

The Car has 182,000 Kms or just over 100,000 Miles, however the Mechanic said the cylinders and pistons looked very good, with absolutely no signs of wear.

It is noticeably faster, particularly above the 4500 RPM Range. ( It Pulls Hard )
Down low it's quicker but not as much.

I believe the next mod will be 3.73 gears! ( Currently 2.73 )

I was also thinking about a 70mm Throttle Body, is there anything else that could help me make a little bit more low end Power????

Thanks
Grant

Have you had the car tuned yet? If not then I would get it tuned and get gears at the same time.
