Default What Upgrade To Do Next???

I have 87 gt 5-speed. I so far have installed underdrive pulleys, a bb@k fenderwell coldair intake, a bb@k 70mm throttle body, 4:10 gears, and a chip. Ive been lookn for my next upgrade, a 350.00 budget remind you guys.(all she would allow me) Ive narowed it down to either a Prof satin typhoon intake manifold wich is 374.00. Or a bb@k factory intake spacer kit (60.00), msd 6al ignition module(215.00) and new motor mounts(70.00)! Im torn on wich way to go so any advice or suggestions are welcomed! Oh by the way i also got new 19lbs injectors on the way! This car is just a weekend toy/project/hobby. Im not a hard core racer just lookn to make her a little more fun to play in! Thanx Men.

remove the chip, bump your timing to 12°. I was going to suggest a maf upgrade, but '87, im assuming you are still SD.

Start looking into a new exhaust. A O/R mid pipe will open it up a little bit. some shorties would be great too.

save the budget a few times over, then after 5-6 times you'll have enough for an h/c/i

ugh....prof products intakes......the castings in them are really rough internally, I almost got one but when I saw pics of the rough casting edges and misaligned port transition areas, I was disappointed, right away they need port clean up
