Default Basic bolt ons...HELP with Next mod?!?!

Whats up you guys, i'm new to this forum. I have a 1990 Mustang GT with just the basic bolt ons, BBK Cold air, UD pullies, Black Magic Electric Fan, BBK Equal length headers, Custom H pipe, rear axle dumps, Rebuilt Trac Lock, 3:55 gears, King Cobra Clutch, and a Steeda Tri-ax Short throw shifter. I'm looking to do my next mod but with this setup i don't know what mod would help me the best. For example TB, MAF, 24lb Injectors, Trick Flow upper and lower intake manifold, nitrous and how much i can run or what. I'm hoping right now to hit a high 13, maybe 13.8 maybe? Is this possible at all with my setup, i have toyo proxes that hook up for me really well off the line. I would like to be in the mid 13's, maybe 13.4 or 13.5. There is alot of smart people in here so if you can help me out i would greatly appreciate it.

I would get bigger injectors before a bigger MAF because you have to get the MAF calibrated to your injector size.

If i were you, id go with TF street heat intake, bigger injectors (24# or higher, depending on what you plan on doing), then MAF (Id go with about 76mm), then TB (no bigger than 70mm), then a bigger fuel pump.

You can find most of these things on www.jdsperformance.com , the intake can be found at www.summitracing.com

or you could just say **** all that and save your pennies for a while and supercharge that biatch

If it were me cause you have the same mods...BTw youll prolly run 13's on slicks....if you can hook...If I were you I would do susp mods, ie lower control arms, springs, shocks,...But if you want more bolt on's then Get 70mm TB and the street intake manifold or the performer intake....you dont need injectors yet....so Get hte maf but get it calibrated for the stock 19# inj. and fuel pump

If i do intake manifold next do i have to do TB and Fuel Injectors? and if i don't do TB and injectors at the same time as intake manifold will i still get a good horse power increase with just upper and lower intake manifold?

You will still get good gains with just the manifold. Just do the manifold, then save up for a MAF and a TB. Don't do injectors until you do heads and a cam.

If I were you id do injectors before MAF, but thats just me. I hate buying parts twice, plus ull probably need bigger injectors down the line anyway. but yea you should see some pretty big gains with the bigger TB, MAF, and intake. Especially when u decide to do your heads, because youll get more airflow.
