First thing you should do is get some guages! Mainly EGT and boost, but being an auto i would do a trans also. Then I would slide your plate forward and turn the star wheel and see what you think. After that you may want to start thinkin about a tranny cause thats right about the mods i had when i lost my auto. Boost elbo will also be a good one for ya!

buy a set of gauges first then i would start with a fuel plate( you can cut one yourself), and some injectors. but before i went to wild i would upgrade the tranny
