Exclamation What to do next

Hi I have a 1984 rx7 that I did most everything to and I'm wondering what's next do do
So this is what I did so far

New 13b bridgeported
New tranny and clutch
Rb intake
Holley 600
Spectre air cleaner
Electric fuel pump
High flow fuel filter

Besides this I have a tuned racing suspension (I forget the brand)

Running obx headers to straight pipe

Also relocated the battery to the rear compartment.

I put new brakes, and master cylinder
New ceramic clutch, and master and slave cylinder

So what next I was thinking msd box to switch to electronic ignition but then what

I appreciate all feedback and mainly only looking for performance mods not cosmetic

Ill post some picks soon thanks for reading

He means add a Turbo... but you really need an air filter on that Holley... it doesnt look like you have an element in there... Great looking car though

Wing? RB Strut Tower Brace? Roll bar? Sway bars? Have you replaced all of your bushings? Big brake upgrade (Turbo II). Engine wise I don't know if there is much else you can do externally for hp, at least nothing with significant gains, unless ypu decide to turbo/supercharge

Yeah all the bushings were replaced
Brakes are good and new (new calipers and all)
As for roll cage I don't like it when I get thrown out the track I get thrown out lol
I was actually thinking about sway bars but couldn't find any online and the one from gen two doesn't fit

I am really considering that msd box any thoughts

Oh and as for the turbo I don't think I'm going to turbo this one for a few months I just broke the motor in and it has 1500 miles with the rest of the new parts

I was referring to the stock rear wing. They have a nice new MSD Digital Box, I'm assuming that's the one you're referring to. Finally, something compact like the TwinPower :P. Also, RacingBeat, and I also believe Suspension Techniques, make swaybars for our cars. What about camber plates or arms up front? Do you have an LSD rear-end? Until you decide to turbo, I think you should concentrate on chassis & suspension. And what about a roll bar? They don't get in the way, since they're behind you. Front & rear strut bars would also be something to look into. I LOVE the RB front strut brace.

I was also wondering about changing my wheels too I have the weld racing ones on and there steel and someone told me that they could bend on a turn and that they are only for drag racing not turning. So what's a good wheel and tire size to go with. Just to drive around with but really race around with too.Now they are only 135 r15 in the front it's a 55
