I am 18 Months and 25k Miles into my v-6 Pony, and I am a bit stumped as to what to do next.
I have put in a CAI, Tuning Chip, & Dual Exhaust, rear sway bar and some cosmetic enhancements like sequential blinkers, tri bar pony fender badges, 17 inch Bullit rims and Porellis. I love the "Bolt On" mods I can do (mostly) myself.
I want to continue to improve performance of the car that I can drive daily with.
I would love headers to deepen the dual exhaust sound I have, but will that make it too loud?
It also seems improving the gear ratio could help, but that sounds complicated.
I have considered new springs and lowering, but I really worry about bottoming out on my daily drives.

What do you all think is my next step?

It's not a do-it-yourself job, but gears & LSD would be my suggestion. My car is also a daily driver, so I plan to get 3.73:1 gearing with the LSD.

I would suggest the 4.10 gears and the LSD (T-lok or Truetrac either one). 3.73 would be a slight improvement but i just think if your gonna spend the money i would go with 4.10 because it gets going faster then 3.73. It doesnt kill you mpg bad but 4.10's may make it decrease slightly since they are bigger.

Or you could get a PHP Alt. Pulley from Powerhouse that would be a nice addition too.

4.10s and a detroit true trac, best bang for your buck ever

Thanks for the suggestions. Seems unanimous that improving the drive train at the transmission and rear end is the next step.

OK...so if I go with a new LSD & Gear Ratio, where is the best place to do it?
Did you take it to a performance shop or Aamco?
