Default need some performance help

like the names says this is my wifes 95 gt it has 115k on the dial but runs like a top. it is a driven pretty regularly but it also sees some track time. ok so it has the norm doen to it under drive pulleys, off road h pipe, short throw shifter, and cold air intake. we went to the track today and we did pretty good spanked a couple of newer gt's and lost to a 94 cobra r by only a hood but i need dome info on what next the gears are getting put on this month 3:73 and a set of lift bars i aquired in a trade for misc parts. i know that will make a huge difference but now what to do. we are eventually going to build the motor. most likely bored 30-60 a good set of head intake and headers but im looking for some small stuff (add ons) that i can keep after the motor is built but willl still make a big difference maybe a 70-80mm mas air a set of injectors but i dont know would love som einput an dmaybe some ideas on where to go witht the motor

You can upgrade to 24lb injectors (make sure to have yours mass air recalibrated), you can also go with a nice street manifold like the Edelbrock RPMII whitch is REALLY nice or you can also go with TrickFlow. Also, if you havent already installed the gears I would actually go with the 4:10's. Also, you should upgrade to a 65mm throttle body (possibly 70mm but 65 would be OK) to complete the intake system. AND, if you really want some power you could get on the spray. Thats just my .02

Yeah I heard a 75 shot is safe to run and if you upgrade your fuel system then you wont have anything to worry about. But how is your suspension looking? Maybe it is time for some U/L control arms, tires, and springs? Or if you want to go all out get the K member kit with A arms and coilovers. Also maybe a battery relocation kit along with a MSD 6A box.

Do NOT bore past .030
Used forged pistons/moly rings.
Make sure both the fuel system AND the ignition systems are at 100% for any amount of n2o........
Think about some split duration type cam with more on the exhaust.......
