I would throw in a set of gears, get yourself a set of 3.73,  then go with the exhaust,  headers, x-pipe, and aftercat.  Best bang for your buck.

Don't forget the cheap mods.There's several that cost next to nothing:
-Blocking off the coolantlines to the EGR spacer behind the throttle body.This will keep hot coolant from heating up the air going to your intake.

-Remove the front swaybar(my coupe handles fine without it,just don't get crazy in curves)

-Ice down the intake at the strip between races

-Buy a shorter belt.Get one short enough to bypass the smog pump and the power steering(at the track).I think that's the ones you can bypass.Make sure though that the belt runs the same direction on the water pump pulley so that the water pump pulley doesn't run backwards.

-Bump up the timing.There's a small square grey plug by the distibutor that you'll have to take out before adjusting the timing.I think it's like some where between +13 to +16 degrees advance.Hopefully someone can give the exact number.I now do run premium gas though after that.
The cheap mods do add up.
A cold air intake and exhaust will help.
I've done almost all the mods except for the belt,and they made a big difference.
I hope to get the 3.73's in soon.My 2.73's suck at the dragstrip.Gears will help alot

A friend of mine had a 93 gt and he put 24 pound injectors in it and you talk about a whip lash,it throws you back in your set....

By a Kenne Bell Supercharger and a set of 3.73's forget about all the nickle dime stuff. You'll be over 300 hp from the minute you turn the key.

the simple mods can put you into the twelves WITHOUT nitrous. It cost me $1500 to put my stock motored fox into the twelves and that was buying everything new.
