truthfully the larger tb isn't gonna help all that much atleast at this point, but i would think about halfshafting and polishing the one you have now, but the gears and tune will work great, i really recommend SCT products from vmptuning.com which specialize in the 3.8, but either way they respond very well to tuning. I recommend getting long tube headers, do a search and you can find a nice howto install article on here. Exhaust is a personal preference for sound and looks but if your looking into the side exit, deceide now if you want to lower it in the future because i'm sure you will scrape everything. spintech also sells side exit exhaust for the 3.8 aswell. another good mod if going for a great sound is a cam, there are a few choices out there... also another option is swapping your rearend which is a 7.5 for a 8.8 with gears of your choice from a GT which will bolt up, just keep in mind the fox bodied stangs have narrower axle tubes than the sn-95's.

here is a list of v6 performance parts sellers to browse;
