Lightbulb What Mods Next?HELP

I have a 93 Formula AT with a few mods...Edelbrock cat back gutted cat , BBK 52mm tb,morosso cold air, free mods, and a hypertech chip..Which might be good or bad.Also have a shift kit. What would u guys do next.
I was thinking pulleys,LT's,gears. Or would i feel more from a stall convertor?currently i have ran a best of 101.4 13.75 . this was with full weight no mods to sus. this was with nitto 555(not drag radial) 275 zr18 with HEAVY 99 Vette wheels (18-17). How much would a stall help with the mods i have...KEEP IN MIND I HAVE 2.73 gears with 18 inch tires BADDDD!!! Any help is great

I would get either headers or 3.73's next. If you go with 3.73's, your gonna have to get drag radials also or your not gonna have any traction.

If you go with higher gears or a stall you'll definitely need tires, like dragon said. I'd say get headers, because that will help squeeze out extra hp out of future mods that you might do. I did my headers first, and I felt a good gain, and then after a couple months i did my catback and now I feel like its an entirely different car.

Also, I dont think you really need slicks and skinnies yet, but decent tires such as nitto nt555r's help alot. I think most of the et streets dont have strong sidewalls or something so if you use them for everyday driving and hit a curb your basically ****ed. I might be wrong though
