On my 89 ta i have 3.55 gears, power pulleys, full 3" custom exhaust with dual tips and hooker hedders, k&n filter, and msd 9 mm wires. What modifications should i do to push my horses even further? Should i do something to the tbi (free flow), .5 spacer. List mods other than heads and cam for now please. Need the power and any suggestions would help.

You said that you had a K&N filter, is it an open element or just the stock replacement? If it's open element that's good, if not, just suck up the loss and get an open element. Go read the Ultimate TBI article in the Tech Section and do that stuff. Take Tas's advice on top of that and you'll be alot quicker.
