Default NEED BETTER PERFORMANCE

I have a 93 Mustang GT and I currently have Flowtech Longtubes on it. Should I get shorty headers? If so, what kind? I was told MAC is the best. What do you think? I put a list of the upgrades I currently have. What else can I do for better performance that's not too expensive?

Thanks for the replies. I have a 70mm Edelbrock throttle body and a MAC cold air intake. I bought the car with majority if the mods but I made a few myself. What can I do?

depends on your budget....I'm going with Accufab Headers on my stang when I rebuild it in the fall, they are kinda pricey for the longtubes but outflow all others. Like hooker etc. And I wont go with mac myself...they arent much better than flowtechs....
