Dont forget a 65 or 70 mm throttle body and 75mm MAF sensor. Get a fuel pressure regulator too so you can play with the air/fuel mixture. Get a bigger fuel pump while your at it. oh and get electric radiator fans and new spark plugs and MSD blaster coil.... hope this helps.

if it were me the very first thing i would do is an offroad h pipe and a good set of muffs, it will free up some good horse power. the clutch i would reccomend is the ford racing HD clutch with a steeda cable and quadrent. thats what i put in mine, its great.
