3.73 gears. headers. plenum and TB. if you have auto, valve body and converter, if you have stick, get a shifter.

since you will be running boost soon, get the accufab 75 MM T/B and as far as the plenum goes, I'd go with either accufab or C&L....i'd also recommend a power pipe..

PS: plenums don't come in different sizes...

a power pipe is going to do you no good . youll have to take it off when u get a blower. wait until you get a blower then get a boost pipe

Stiffen up your rear end, and What supercharger are you getting. I recommend going ahead and getting your fuel ready as well. Just buy the parts like Cobra Tank and Dual fuel pump. Get a tuner kit, save yourself some money and just get your own 42# injectors, I sell them for 260.00 ford racing, and get a 90mm MAF

What kind of car do you have (GT, Cobra,...), what year, and exactly what exhaust/suspension mods have you done? And what brand or atleast type of supercharger are you looking at? Finally, what are your overall performance goals?

upgrade your fuel pump, get some injectors and wait to put those in till ya have the blower. I agree on the 3.73 gears. They are perfect for me. I pass the traps in the 1/4 just short of the top of 4th gear

If you are most concerned with street performance i would go with the KB. Really provides that down low torque.

Love my KB, and if you're going the KB route, get the 75mm tb and a plenum anyways, sell the plenum once you get the KB. KB sells the 75mm Accufab as one of their upgrades anyway. Just makes their big tube upgrade cheaper later on. And, if you go with something else, then you've got the TB and plenum taken care of already.

But, get the rear-end built up first. Subrames and control arms are a good thing to do too. And, a good shifter.
