East want more juice out of my 5.0

Hi guy I drive a slighty mod 89 5.0 (headers, mild aggressive cam and few add-on). I want to know what would be the best mod to make that tire spin even more!. I thought of cobra conversion and working compression and the gt-40 intake. I want to paid 1-2k for my mod because i don't want to drop out of school yet haha! have any different idea?

Welcome aboard!
Best bang for the buck is gears. You didn't mention that mod in your list.
A 3.73 would be a nice upgrade for that kick in the seat of the pants....... And if fuel miliage is no biggy seeing that you have a aftermarket cam, 4.10's.
Heads, and intake would be nice, but nothing is like doing a gear swap when on a budget.

It will benefit the cam for sure.

But if you want to keep some money in the pocket for now, a gear change out back will be the most kick in the a$$ for sure.
