Any Suggestions? 1989 Mustang LX Hatch 2.3l. What to do next?

I am getting a 2.3 turbo for my car and gonna have it in by the end of the summer. Just thinking ahead to what i could do next to the car? All the suspension is aftermarket, and i got a posi to go in with the 2.3T but don't have a clue what to do next? Any suggestions?

maybe you can start porting the head, that would increase the HP by about 50-100HP depending on the head you have on the 2.3L

Really? im gonna say maybe 20 or so. you would get lucky to get 50. when you port the head, you would only want to lay the gasket on there and grind it up to the size of the gasket.

i dont port heads..... and i only assemble race motors for my dad.......
so i wouldnt have a clue about it. i will also throw another idea out, why dont you (the thread starter) collect ideas from different website that deal with your car, and then you would have a better idea on what you want.

depends on what kind of power you want to make and how much money you want to put into it.
