Default What next?

Hey, what up everyone. I'm new. I read these forums all the time and like to get info from them. Just have a quick question. I am currently putting in a new Intake manifold and TB in my 88 5.0. What should i put in next that would be a good bang for the buck? I already have 373's, cold air and exhaust.

yea, finish out whatever you don't have exhaust wise. If you like it without mass air don't worry about it and get a set of heads or something, maybe upgrade the fuel system to go with the more air you're gonna get.
