You may get a better response (or more of them) in the Windsor forum.

But, my advice would be to do the following:

1) Gears. Go with 3.55's or 3.73's
2) Underdrive pulleys (March Performance)
3) If 5 spd., then get a quality shifter (Pro 5.0, Hurst, etc)
4) Ditch the panel filter and put in a K&N filter.
5) Complete tune-up --> plugs, wires, cap & rotor, oil change (synthetics maybe?)
6) Bump the timing to 13 or 14* BTDC.

There are a ton more ideas, but I'll step aside now and let other members help you out.

Good luck, E
