Default What next..

Alright a buddy of mine picked up a mustang an 87 gt 5.0 motor was rebuilt and converted to mass air. It came with an exhaust equal lengths and an off road h pipe and flowmaster dumps and a cold air intake and aftermarket mass air with 3.73 gears and ssm lift bars and b cam. I'm helping him out with this car trying to get as much as we can out of it. I did a full tune up motorcraft plugs gaped to .054-.056 msd coil msd cap rotor ford racing wires fuel filter oil change trans fluid change new air filter ford racing quadrant and adjustable clutch cable. I also added a electric fan. I'm just trying to figure out if theres anything else left to do as far as bolt-ons.

nitrous for cheap quick power

is it manual or auto?
if auto: get torque converter, and shift kit along with trans cooler

if manual: look into upgrading clutch, lightweight flywheel, shifter

My sponosor is a dealer of Zex and he doesnt suggest it a lot seems to be lower quality then NOS and NX that he sells but i think as long as you buy a name brand kit you will be good
