Besides that this is what i wanna do for starters, let me know what you think BBK seemed to be the cheapest brand for most of the parts. heres what i came up with.
CAI, TB, upper plenum, underdrive pulleys, headers, exhaust.

instead of the underdrive pulleys i would go with a set of 3.73's (b/c its a 5 speed) and if your tight on money i would go with a midpipe and a cat back keep the stock manifolds and run some spray.

As someone who has 4.30's I can tell you that they will be too much gear for a car with any sort of F/I without a built motor and suspension and a taller tire. If you want to get a lower gear, go with 4.10's. I'm N/A and I cross the traps towards the top of 4th at 102 mph on a 26.1 inch tall tire.

well im actually a ford tech lol. So install is free and ford racing parts at slight discount. Plus tons of resources at the shop. So if gears are $550 installed, and its probably a 2hr job at $90, the gears are around $300
I just got a bbk h-pipe and what i think are stock mach 1 mufflers from another tech at the shop and i installed them after work. took like 2 hours cause i had an issue with the lower stud on the passenger side. that things tucked away nicely. so now it sounds a lot better but i got a MIL. butt dyno shows no noticeable results.
next is throttle body, plenum and spray..
still researching gears. Moser? Ford racing?
