Where to go now...i am thinking suspension
 
i have a 94 cobra, 3.73 gears, flowmaster cat back, bassani x-pipe, bbk long tube headers (not installed yet), cold air induction, rear upper and lower control arms, subframe connectors, and the ever popular K&N airfilter...

i am not quite sure where to go from here, i need this as my daily driver so too much more power might not be a good idea

i was thinking of working towards the suspension...
i have the control arms but i dont know what else i might want to look into on my small budget.

i was also wondering if having my intake ported would be a good idea, but i have no clue as to where i could get that done...

i live near altoona, but my car stays with my parents while i am at school and they are in pittsburgh
so if anyone knows a place that i could have that done i would appreciate it.

Underdrive pulleys would help out a bit and they are cheap.

If you're going to have someone pull your intake and port it it's going to cost quite a bit for the small gain you would get.

Rigid frame
 
Sub frame connectors and a strut tower brace. These would help channel the power you've got to the back wheels. Big sticky tires would be good too. Weight reduction. Every 200 lbs is about a tenth, I heard that somewhere. I don't know how much weight reduction you would want to do, but its an idea.

i already have subframes, but i am looking at strut towers

what brands are good?

how much are they and where can i get them?

sorry i can't tell you which brands are better than others. Jegs Summit, Steeda, Saleen. They should all have some for your mustang. You can compare and decide which you want.

When deciding on a strut tower brace you need to check to make sure the one you buy will clear future intake setups. I'd call Maximum Motorsports or Griggs and let them know what you have so they can sell you one that will fit. They make the best chassis stuff. I ordered one and it didn't clear my cold air induction because I had a 1" spacer under my upper intake, so I had to sell it and take a loss.

Look in the Corner Carvers forrum. This is discussed (a LOOOOONG time ago).
