Default Help HP!

OK so, I got a 90gt. Its bone stock. 152,xxx miles
I only got:

BBK Cai
BBK Shorty Headers
BBK O/R X-pipe

I looking to get more HP out of it. I got around 1,500 to play with. I was thinking heads and Intake, But I have no idea which ones to get because Im the type of guy that wants the best for the money. I don't wanna find down the road that I could have bought something else for a little more money or even less money and is better then what I got.
Help me out here guys..
Thanks in advance

If you still are running the stock maf meter and throttle body you should change them first. Having better heads and intake wont help too much if you cant get air into the motor.

would a BBK 80mm throttle body be good. Or is that pushing it to much? can i go bigger?
I can still use my BBK Cai on it right?

no bigger than 65mm on a stock intake... 70-75 on an H/C/I swap

number one thing to get faster would be gears, 373 for manual 410 for auto, then heads would be the biggest difference and most hp for the money since thats the worst part on these cars.

where can you find 3.73 gears for a 7.5axle because from what I see they only sell 3.73 for the 8.8axle. Or will it still work?

Why do you need 7.5s? If you have a 7.5 rear end, get rid of it. All foxes after 85 or 85 (cant remember) had an 8.8 rear end. But if you insist im pretty sure these guys carry some.
