Default Need ideas on what to get

I have a Shelby Gt with Ford Racing 90-millimeter cold-air intake, Ford racing X-pipe, 3.55 gears, and ford racing handling pack. I have no idea where i should go from here. What do you all think would be the smartest things to add next?

Supercharge or turbo.

Not much else is worth doing considering you already have a CAI, and suspension. Maybe like Fury said and get a tuner, maybe a 93 dyno tune?

Well if a SC or turbo is in your future, I'd get some supporting mods for it. Some other suspension mods, bigger wheels in the rear, etc.

Well...first off, I was happy with my power, but among the ranks of other cars I wasn't, and nothing shy of dropping a crate engine(or nitrous which i Dont want cuz i dont race) would have improved performance dramatically. So the SC was always in my future, either that or a faster car.

BUT, if i had to get something before the SC, it woulda been staggered wheels and high performance tires. Makes the car look so much better. Especially since my funds are still drained from the SC, and now I need to buy an olympic power cage(I lift @ home), so there goes the "wheel" fund again, lol.

Saleen intake tube to replace stock(restrictive) hose that has that carbon vapor trap. When I changed mine you could feel it. $100 and an easy couple hp.

Since you have the Shelby take a look at my wheel setup for my car. The Shelby razors are a beautiful wheel in my opinon. Would look great with the black car you have.
