Default What next for power adders?

Hey guys, here's my set up, I pretty much have every bolt on and am wondering what to do next for more power/trque without yet resorting to a supercharger or nos... suggestions sincerely appreciated.

2003 GT 5 Speed:
Steeda UDPs
70mm TB & Plenum
4.10s
Magnaflow x-pipe (full exhaust &catback)
K&N CAI & intake spacer
Bullit suspension (I likeit)
Short shifter
SCT tuned to 93
18 inch deep dish black bullits, (fatter one's in back
Cobra hood black to match the bullit mags
Royal purple all around (felt a tiny difference in power in comparison to stock oil, pretty much changed it at 10,000k)

Thanks and all the best to one and all.

i see it says full exhaust, so i'm guessing you have LT's....if not go for some long tube headers. maybe a new cam. i reccomend the VT cams.

No, I have no headers or cams... my bad for not properly expressing myself, sorry. Thanks for the reply, I think I had asked this before but can't remember the answers, what LT headers would fit with a magnaflow x pipe? And I don't really know anything about cams, any info would be appreciated. What is the cost of such a set up?

Thanks again for the reply.

I would go with the long tubes first. Depending on the brand they can be pricey. You're going to need a new shorty mid-pipe for headers too. You can go here.....
https://mustangforums.com/m_2189116/tm.htm and listen to some soundclips to help you decide which headers you want.

The install is going to be pricey too.

I figured it would be pricey, that's what I am debating, is it worth the gains, even with the louder sound.. for the money... anyone who has the set up done, what you say, yay or nay? Worth the cost or not headers and cam?

Thanks again.

For the money go with nitrous... youd be looking at 1500 for full kit + install w/ 100 shot and close to 100 rwhp 120 rwtq or spend 600 for cams and a 20 rwhp gain or LT which will be very similar in price and gains
