I am throwing together a new setup. What do you guys think? What else should I do, or not do. What kind of HP should I be expecting? What times should i be pulling? I drive an 85 Mustang GT convertible and i am a decent driver.

--DSS Pro Bullet 306
--Main support system
--Windage tray
--Twisted Wedge heads
--TFS Stage 1 cam
--TFS 1.6 rockers
--Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap manifold
--Holly 570 street avenger carb
--NS nitrous kit 100-175 going to use the 175
--No A/C
--No smog pump
--Replacement T5
--Centerforce Dual friction clutch
--Aluminum Driveshaft
--Upgraded to a just rebuilt 8.8 and limited slip
--Yukon 3.73 gears
--G-force Drag radials
--Torque box reinforcements

What other mods would be good to do next?

Nice setup. Dunno if that T5 is going to hold up under abuse. I would consider stepping up to something more durable.

What is your suspension setup?
