Default What should be next?

To start, 2001 WS6 M6 with 60k miles. Started with volant cai, msd wires, slp long tubes and lm I, along with a short throw shifter. Then monster stage 2 clutch, drilled and slotted brakes all around, welded sub frame connectors, adjustable panhard, new fuel pump, bigger injectors, koni sports, and an s60 rearend with 4.10 gears. The question is whats next? Am I forgetting any supporting mods? I know a set of stickys would be great. After that should I go with N/A get a fast 90/90 nice set of heads and a moderate cam around 240/244? Or the forced induction route. The only downside is that I love the sound of my longtubes Ill have roughly around 4-5 grand to spend on the final steps. Shes mostly a street car, weekend driver. Plan to hit the strip a time or 2 a month. Thanks!

I don't know that I would call a 240/244 a "moderate" cam lol

But a good head/cam package would def be next along with tires for the track if I were you

You are asking us what you should do but maybe you should first tell us what your budget is

Well for 5k heads and cam or a blower are feasible. Personally I'd rather do heads cam and nitrous because it will probably be cheaper, sound much meaner, and would be faster as well
