Default more power

I' m the original of a '91 GT with 120,000 on the clock. Centerforce dual friction clutch, K&N air filter, and 2 chamber Flowmasters is the only thing that I put on it. It's WELL taken care of. I've noticedthat I'm lacking power ( kinda slow to pick up ). Does my motor need to be refreshed or trash those 2:73s and add an offroad H-pipe?...Guide me to the next step. I'm sick of my Bowtie friend talking sh!#&.
Anyone PLEASE HELP.

Hey 91 Pony,
Definitely a lot you can still do before trashing the motor - unless you have lost compression and burning oil.
I would start with full exhaust - Shorties, H or X pipe and cat-back. Then consider U/L intake, TB, Intake. After that you will want to think about heads and cam and MSD components. Trash the 2.73 for at least 3.73 or 4.10. That should help your pony tremendously...
Doing the same myself right now

Cant argue with the new guy, get 3.73's for that stir stick, 4.10's may be too low for manual.

You could split the difference between the 4.10 and 3.73 and go with a 3.90. Motive Gear makes a 3.90 but it's $230.

I've got a set 3:55 Richmondsstill in the box. Can I do the 3:55s, or should I go for the 3:73s or 3:90s? Just for info, I have the T-5.
