Now the blower works, what next?

Okay, so those of you who have been keeping up with my story, know I have had alot of difficulties getting my procharger to work properly. Well I fixed it. The problem was the FMU was jacking the pressure up to about 80 PSI before I even hit 2 lbs of boost. The car hesitated, blew smoke, and was all around a serious pain in the butt. So I yanked off the vacuum hose that goes to the FMU and voila, it goes reallly freakin fast. And as an added bonus, the A/F ratio stays realtively rich. Go Figure.

So my car is completely stock other than the mods listed in my profile. My question to you all is, what next?

I've been thinking about
* Full exhaust (Offraod H pipe, headers, etc) and a cheap intake
* Gears (3.73) and an expensive intake
* AOD - T5 Swap

what should I go with? Is there anything else I should do?

GET SOME LONGTUBE HEADERS, AND FULL 3" EXHAUST, WITH AN X-PIPE, ALL THOSE SHOULD PUT YOU AT 50+ MORE THAN WITH YOUR STOCK HEADERS, EXHAUST, H-PIPE. NEXT GET HEADS AND A GOOD INTAKE, THOSE TWO THINGS ALONE WILL BE WORTH 100+HP ON YOUR SET-UP. THEN SWAP YOUR AOD FOR A TREMEC TKO II PREFERABLY, NOT A T-5. AND THEN GEARS, YOU SHOULD DEFINATELY BUY THE HOLLEY INTAKE WITH YOUR S/C'ER!!!!!
