I'd go gears, suspension, tires, and H/C/I. That will give you a great foundation for future mods.

Nitrous, Suspension, and tires. None of these will effect the mpg on a DD.

I'm used to getting 8 mpg with my pickup, so whatever the 'stang gets is fine.

I have an axle in the back of my pickup with 3.73 limited slip so I'm set for gears(I don't mean under the back of my pickup of course, i mean in the bed ).

Can anyone point me in the right directions for heads, cam and intake that will still allow me to pass cali smog?

Thanks!

Here's a great idea. Send it to me so I can buy some good aluminum heads and then I'll send you my old GT40s.
