Default What to do next?

Hows it goin. Heres the situation im in, I have a 95 mustang 5.0 with the following parts on the car: MAC equal length headers, MAC hpipe with cats, MAC exhaust, BBK pulleys, MAC cold air intake, accufab 70mm tb.

With his current setup i have a check engine light that appears with the code saying there is problem with the egr. Its been sitting in my garage for about 2 years because of the fact that I cant smog it. Plus the fact that I have a blown head gasket.

Ive still been buying parts for my car and have TFS heads/stage 2 cam, gt40 intake, 1.7 rollers, 3.73 gears that are all waiting to be put in.

My question is: should I wait to get the car smogged before I put the parts in?

I was thinking that since I had a blown head gasket, might as well replace the cylinder heads first.

Also, will I have to upgrade my injectors and MAF?

I planned on getting the AFM/Vortech kit which comes with calibration for 38lbs inj. I wanted to wait till I get this to upgrade.

Please help so I can bring my baby back to life!

You can upgrade your brakes, I still have yet to do that because I think that mine work just fine. But suspension wise I would get a good tire (I like drag radials ), and upper/lower control arms for the rear.
