Tuner suggestion for specific setup

I am looking to add the MagnaFlow high-flow cats, a cat-back exhaust, and cold air intake to my truck. (maybe even the larger throttle body) and was curious which tuner I should go for on my '98 F150 with 4.6L?

Am new to this tuner scene, but have been doing some reading...

I do want to put a few inches of lift, but will probably stay with 33" tires. I realize that I need to get a new speedo gear, and will be ordering one this week. (side note, where is good, reputable place to do this).

Thanks for any helpful information, can't wait to get this project up and going.

Instead of a CAI, save some $$$ and do a Gotts mod to the stock airbox. Larger throttle body won't help you without a lot of other mods to go with it.

I'd recommend a SCT device with custom tunes from one of the reputable tuners out there.

VSS gears are cheap and easy to change yourself. Are you planning on regearing? That will do a lot more for that little 4.6 than any exhaust or intake mods but it's not cheap.

would love to regear. have been waiting on doing anything major until i have this paid off. I should have it paid off next week!

I read up on the Gotts and will probably do that this weekend. I definitely want to do my exhaust and will get a new speedo gear asap.

Any ideas of where I can get the speedo gear? Is that a dealer item? I read somebody referring to a calculator to find out what gear i need, but didnt actually find it. I'm all stock with the exception of the 33's.
