Depending on how much you wanna get into it gears is probably a good next step. Then you can start in on the engine and the induction system (intake, filter, TB, all that.)

Trickflow is a good intake and if you're getting that at the same time at the TB either a 65 or 70. Pulleys is also a good idea, good bang for your buck.

agree with boosted, the heads on an '86 are the worst ones they ever put on a 5.0, they just don't flow good at all. I would replace the heads first then think about the intake or other mods.

Don't the 86's have flat top pistons as well? those could cause clearance issues with a cam and head combo.
