Default Suggestions for next modification?

So a few months ago, I picked up an 05 GT convertible. I wouldn't normally go with a convertible, but it was a stupid price for the miles (40k). Anyway, it was bone stock so I decided to add a few things. At this point, I'm just not sure exactly which direction to go so I thought I'd see what you all think. As of right now I have done...

- MAC axle back exhaust
- BBK long tube headers
- BBK O/R X pipe
- JLT Series 3 cold air intake
- SCT-X3 Tune

I had it Dyno'd and it ran 331 rwhp. Not a bad start, but I know there's room for improvement. So I'm open to suggestion.

Thanks!

+1 for gears. Then rear suspension upgrades, wider wheels and tires.

Definitely IMO go with suspension. Anti roll bars and maybes some new shocks and springs would do nicely

Manual transmission? MGW.

Otherwise gears or suspension. Gears are cheaper and both would give a noticeable difference. I'm at about the same spot so far.
