want more power, where to start?

hey all,

lately i've been wanting to get a little more punch out of my car but have no clue where to start.

i have mostly exhaust work done, ie: headers, flowmasters, x pipe. the a/c pump was removed from the car and everything else is pretty much stock.

where do i start to really get my stang moving!! thanks

also im not really on a budget but i also dont want to break the bank too much

i like to do stuff the old way. Heads, cam, intake. Maybe bump compression up (do not do if you plan on boost later on)....

A shot of nitrous would do the trick and won't break the bank.

I second the nitrous, best bang for the buck. Put me in the 11's on a stockish motor
