2000 Mustang GT ready for next mod. What would you do first?

I have enough money to do my next mod. What do you all think I should do first.

Intercooler, piping, pulley, belt, & dyno to check A/F = $570

Wideband-can't decide between wideband commander or FAST. With the fast I can replay on screen but the WC I need to buy a laptop to play back. Would really like this to get the most out of my tune and not have to go to the dyno everytime I do a mod. $350 for the FAST, allot more for WC and laptop.

8.8 build - 33 spline axels, spool, diff cover, install kit =$800 would have to save a little bit to do this one.

I was thinking the intercooler would protect my motor and give me more hp and I want to run at the drap stip next season. I am running ET streets right now and am planning to do a couple track sessions this year. Do you think my rearend will hold up. I thought if I launched at 2000 and then massed the throttle after I get going it might hold up?? Then I thought maybe I should do the wideband fist to make sure my a/f is good all the time so I don't have to go to the dyno anymore. But I do have MPH tune so I'm sure its Awesome. I think this is just more a toy than anything. What do you all think? Sorry so long.

THanks for the help.

I would wait one the rearend the stock one with an auburn hd diff and a good diff cover will be good up to some fairly decent power for you price range. This is my setup and I am running 350+ to the wheels.

+1 on the rear-end. What fun is the track if you have to baby it off the line. A spool is a little extreme for street duty, is this a track-0nly car?

1/2 track 1/2 street car

OK so you used a mail order tune for your Vortech??????

I don't care if Tim makes the greatest tunes, you need to check the AFR ASAP. Then buy a wideband gauge so you can monitor your AFR all the time.

I wouldn't be surprised if your motor was on its way out.....

I took it to a dyno to check the a/f when I first put on the kit. AFR is 11.7 and as flat as a board. Tims tune is awesome.
