Default So confused on my next mod...

I've gone down different paths trying to find out what I want most, first it was the PA tranny, then I was looking for a good set of ported GT40s and a TFS1 cam, and now I'm thinking about doing my seats and headlights. I can't decide, what do you guys think I should do next? My mods are in my sig.

Pros and cons
transmission-it's a basically a stock AOD with a big stall, it isn't showing any signs of ware, runs very strong and is very well taken care of but I'll need something stronger if I plan on going over 300 hp (some people get lucky)

exterior and interior-passenger side headlight has horrible condensation (looks like a swimming pool!) and my tail lights have some condensation, my interior is stock and kind of bland, and I could use some visual mods to brighten up my engine bay

heads and cam-i'm eventually going to need to remove my lower manifold again and put some black RTV along the back of my lifter valley, why not throw in a cam and some better flowing heads while I'm that close, everyone loves a little more power

i vote heads and cam just because i knew a guy that had a reverse valvebody and a higher stall converter on a otherwise stock aod.. but he had a 331 stroker... brodix heads... a really mean cam(cant remember what it was.. i think it was a lunati)... a victor jr intake and a 850cfm bg holley dominaor carb.. that thing was sick.. it lasted like 4 summers of beating on it at the track... so yeah.. heads and cam are my vote.. maybe throw a shift kit in it.. or manual valve body on it too... just my $.02

I say HCI swap, but it would also recommend some more frame work, subframe connectors, strut tower brace, torque boxes, ect...
