Cool Looking for Suggestions for Upgrades!

I am a new member but I have been on this site a ton. I have a 91 GT that was given to me as a gift. It is all original with 76,000 miles on it. I am looking to do some upgrades to it as far as HP and handling. I already have plans to swap the AODE tranny for a Manual. I am looking for suggestions on what you think I should do to the rest of the car? A list would be great or even links to take a look at! I am just trying to get an idea on what others are using and working really well. Thanks for all your input...I look forward to seeing what everyone has to say and your opinions as well.

Full length subframe connectors is a great first mod.

+1 ..... Subframes are a fantastic upgrade. They seriously change the nature of the car. They cut down a ton of road noise on highways and improve handling.

Keep your AOD(not E). You'll grow to like it when properly modified. Start small and work your way up. Remove the air silencer, plug in a K&N, bump your timing, install a shift kit(I like TransGo), and throw on some 4.10 gears and a pair of free flowing mufflers. Your car will really wake up
