Get the 75mm over stock. It will allow you to grow when you do other upgrades. I bigger fuel pump is always a good idea.

Not to be a dick, but man you are ALL over the place with your mods. If would save you a lot of time and money if you stopped, sat down, and planned your goals. It sounds like you don't know what goal you are trying to reach and you're jumping all over the place.

Pick what you want your final setup to be and then start to slowly piece it together. Else you're going to end up with a combo that is so mismatched you'd be better off stock. Either that or you're going to waste money on parts you don't need (like your 30# injectors) and you'll end up having to get something completely different.

let me point out something to you. you ALWAYS want your maf larger than your T/B.
dude I have no idea what you were thinging in that x-cam. and that intake....looks like you want some bling under the hood and just wanted a mean sounding car. in a bad attempt your using 4:10 to compensate for all the mis matched parts....what you need is a set of 24's should be able to trade the 30's for them and grab a few extra $$$$ to boot. you need heads more than ever now.. a cheap set of gt-40 would close the gap some. though not ideal but will work

I wouldn't say your a young punk kid. I'd just say that you love your car and are eager to make it as powerful as possible. Hell we're all pretty much in the same boat.

But unless you're filthy rich, you're gonna spend a lot of money that you may not need to spend. You can pull this off and it isn't gonna be that bad. But you should at least have a few goals in mind before setting out.

For example, let's say you wanted to do a complete H/C/I swap. Well you have a camshaft that is decent. You intake leaves something to be desired, and your heads absolutely suck. So let's start there. Go to a junkyard and grab yourself some GT40 heads off an old Explorer. While you are there, pick up the Explorer's intake as well. The Explorer intake actually outflows the Cobra intakes! You should easily be able to get both teh heads and the intake for under $300 total. If you want to go a step further, have the heads and the intake ported to get a little more airflow out of them.

At that point you'd be looking at a setup that is better matched. You could even keep the 30# injectors since you could probably grow into them.

You've got a kickass set of gears. I'd leave those the same. You have a nice midpipe too. But it looks like you may have stock headers. If nothing else, go to summitracing.com and get a set of their unequal length shortys. I got a set there for $99. They're not the best, but tehy beat the hell out of stock. Also put some nice catbacks on there if you haven't already. That won't break the bank either.

At that point you have your H/C/I and your exhaust, and part of your fuel. Next get a decent pump (225 or 255lph.) Also make sure that your MAF is calibrated to your injector size...or at least get a tune to make the necessary adjustments to your current one.

After that you have your H/C/I and your fuel. You can start to look at suspension to help get that HP to the grouns so you're not spinning your tires all day. A decent set of upper and lower control arms will help with that. Perhaps a good subframe connector as well to help with body flex.

After that you'll have H/C/I, fuel, and suspension that would be decently matched, would look good, and would sound great. From there you can take one of a few routes...turbo? supercharger? nitrous?

That's what I mean by getting a plan. You may not be able to afford it all, but if you at least set a goal, you can slowly piece your way there.

Why buy 19# injectors, then 24# injectors, and then 30# injectors when you know that, according to your plan, you going to need 30# ones about 6 months down teh road? Save that money for nitrous!
