Default 5.0 Mustang Question many mods, What mod next? advice please!

I have a 1995 GT Mustang 5.0, I have the following Mods,

Coldair intake
Maf
19lb injectors (stock)
Pulleys
throttlebody w/elbow
Holleysytemax upper/Lower
headers
catted xpipe w/flows
3:73 gears
a/c delete ...ran a shorter belt ...
Accel ignition coil
What mod would be best for adding h/p next? Im thinking a dyno tune, diablo chip, fuel pressure regulator, or maybe heads, I also know that my computer sucks and doesent like mods and ford delayed the sh*t out of the timing so anyways any advice would be great, Thankyou for your time.

also there is a jumper on my maf sensor wires, it jumps the two outside wires together im wonder what the hell this does....

If you don't have 24lb injectors for that MAF i'd probably do that..or switch back to stock.

I think youre on the right track with an ECU upgrade, without advance in your timing, your shooting your self in the foot no matter what you do. my 84's 5.0 has around 14-15 degrees advance, so if yours is retarded, its way off of what it should be. once you fix that then get some bigger injectors.

I tried timing my 5.0 and yes o know how and it seems to run like total **** if i put the 0 tdc mark to the timing pointer, i have to set the timing on the timing pointer to 20 degrees maybe i have some of my wires backwards im not too sure i have to look more into it. note: im doing this without a timing light maybe thats why but i did the instructions that adder posted and it should be ok im stumped
