Question What Mods 1st

Hello Guys & Gals,
I need all of your opinions. I have a 94 fd with 117,800 miles on it & i got my engine rebuilt at Tripoint at 116,000 miles. While it was apart my engine was street ported & I also had a coldbox put in. When I got the car used it (3k miles) had an exhaust on it that says Greddy on the muffler.
I'm a real newbie at the modification game,so can anyone give me suggestions on what would be my next series of mods that I would do?

Thanks ahead of time for any suggestion you all may have.

i agree with the mods above but dont forget to keep the boost in check. with the exaust and dp, you should be ok but anything else like a midpipe with out any type of boost control or fuel upgrade and it will blow your brand new motor fast! in any case the relibility mods should keep you busy for a while as well as depleat your savings pretty fast. My brother has already spent so much money just on the relibility stuff mentioned such as the BOOST/VAC Guage, SS or Alum. AST, Down Pipe and Alum. Radiator, fuel computer and other stuff that he could have bought another cheap car like a 240sx or a second gen RX-7.
