Other than FI the best bang for the buck is gears. I would suggest 410s.

My friend has 4.10 and he told me the rpms are really high on highways. Ford performance told me 3.73 would work best

yes mine came with 3.55's but the 3.73's are prefered, on my dyno slip it's claiming 143 mph in 4th gear and I got as much as 27 mpg on the highway running 70 mph on cruise, so I guess it's a matter of personal choice. I will say that it spools up real quick with that vortech. I bumped my rev limiter up to 6500rpm so I can shift at 6000 rpm. as far as cost, if you do your own work, maybe $5000.00, if not, probably $6000.00
