Default need advice

Whats up fellow stang owners. I own a 91 LX with a decent amount of mods. I have GT40 upper and lower intake manifolds, BBK underdrive pullies, GT 190 heads, MSD ignition, BBK shortie headers, MAC off road H pipe, 24lb injectors, 190 fuel pump, cobra ECM, BBK cold air intake, 65mm throtle body with 1 inch spacer, 70mm Mass Air,stock AOD tranny with shift kit, 373 gears, subframe connectors, BBK upper and lower control arms. 17 inch chrome cobra R wheels SVT hood. I drive the car 70 miles a day and have 120,000 miles on it. I am not sure if the motor has been rebuilt yet. It runs strong now and most of the mods have been recently put on. I have about $2,000 to spend but dont know where to go from here. I am not even sure I know what kind of numbers I am putting down. I would like to get about 400hp at the wheels and still be able to drive it everyday. I was thinking about a Novi 1000 I can get one for $1,700. Any ideas? If you think you have an idea what kind of power I might have now and where to go from here would be great. I am not sure if the owner before me replaced the camshaft or not. you would think so with all the other mods that have been done but he didnt say. Any help would be apreciated.

First off that 65mm TB is choking you already, get a 70. Never heard of GT190 heads, but I'm going to assume you mean GT40. Get some better heads (Trick Flow or AFR) and a TFS Stage 1 cam (maybe Stage 2 with those power levels, I honestly haven't looked at one yet though), a better intake too perhaps. All of that with a 347 stroker and high compression should get you close, toss the blower on that and you'll split your block. However, your trans isn't gonna last that long, and you'll be wanting some axle upgrading to be done as well.
