Kerrige where you at? Lol
First off welcome to the site. Second we need more specific goals and a limit to how far you want to go. 1/4 time, hp/tq, budget, timeline etc. don't be afraid of the search button I have answered litterally this same exact question three times in the last 48hrs
1) tune
2) boltons
3) stall 3200 from circle d (mild version) triple disk 34-3600 (wild version)
4) cam 212/218 or 220/220 (mild version) 226/230 or 228/228 (wild version)
5) gears 4.10s(if you drive more than 500 miles a month) 4.56(more fun but not a great DD gear ratio)
6) spray or boost this is a serious step in a fast direction you need a deeper look into specifics.
Don't worry I was just busy with a grappling tourney all day
I might be the most patient person in the world, but I can fly off the handle in a hurry too.For example I was rear ended by a 16 year old girl who had her license maybe a week.(this was 2-3 weeks ago) I let her go home without calling the cops or any of that jazz because we were all fine and my DD is a beater anyways. I am just quick to forgive, because I believe a lot in karma.

Lol just made my day!
Just throw a turbo on it
I put the mods in order. Tune first. Those are steps. You are looking at a decent chance of valve train failure in the nearish future. Although some have gone 250-300k with a stock motor. A full valve train swap at the time you choose to swap the cam should help prolong its life another 200k.

Tune then headers n off road y pipe n cat back exhaust. Then cold air intake of your choice. Gears posi n bearing. Rebuild the trans as soon as u throw major power ur trans will die. HD drive shaft. Cam stall valve springs pushrods timing chain bigger injectors new plugs n wires. Retune as you go. Nelson performance does free retunes for bolt on stuff. Have nice day
