Default 5.0 rebuild question..

I'm basically redoing the whole engine. Now I had just a few questions:

First off, this is what I bought:

Ford Racing 5.0 Cobra Upper Engine Kit Polished (includes heads, cam,
Pre-Assembled Block with everything
Headers
MSD distributor
BBk C/A intake
75mm Throttle Body

I need injectors as well...what lb do you recommend?

What gears do you recommend I go with? I was thinking 3:55??

Is there anything else that I need to purchase?? Like the pulleys and etc?

Anything else?

Underdrive pullie kit,

shortie or long tube headers,

x pipe and your choice of cat backs.

3:55's ARE OK, 3:73'S better

Synthetic Oil, Motorcraft Filter.

Set Timing at 14* BTDC

24lb Injectors, MAF CALIBRATED FOR THEM


I can see you running 12's
