RE: 88gt
get a badass body kit and some 19 inch chrome wheels man. Don't waste money on things to make it go faster when you can make it look better.
LMFAO. Just messing. Somebody actually made a comment similar to that to me on another forum about another car.
I'd start with some BBK headers just because they are easy on the pocket and do exhaust. Get's some gears and GO!!!
Have fun.

RE: 88gt
Rid your 88 of the speed density and switch to a MAF. It will save you tuning headaches in the future. Intake is always good although for the meantime you could eliminate the intake silencer. If timing hasn't been tuned in some time it may be off. Adjusting it will also net you some extra ponies in the future and make your car feel better throughout the powerband. Set the timing 10-12* BTDC, you can advance it further with premium fuel but that's a good starting point. With race fuel it could be advanced as far as 19-21*. FPR and fuel pump are also a good investment prior to other modifications. A shift kit would also be recommended as the stock shifter doesn't have proper positive stops and you could end up overshifting into 2nd or 3rd and break a shift fork.
These are all preventitive modifications that will have minimal gains now but will help save you money, headaches and time replacing parts later on. They don't "need" to be done right now but I would becaue they will net you more horsepower when you do exhaust, intake, cam, heads.

sticky tires, 4:10 gears and 100 shot of nitrous...it'll run 12's and still have some change left for refills and gas
