Just some upgrades.

ok. i have a 97 f150 4.6l v8. so far i have a BBK cold air intake, Dynomax exhaust, a Sniper programer, and a 75 wet shot of ZEX. i want to do a few more upgrades. as in: throttle body, headers, hi-flow cats, cam (maybe), sparkplug wires, gears for the rear, and eventually a supercharger. if anyone knows anything about any of this can you please give me some advice and where i can get these things from and also what would be the best way to go. i want performance out of this truck. also can anyone tell me where i can find O2 sensor simmulators? please help if you can. im not sure on what i run now bot im goin to the track around thanksgiving and ill post what i run. thank you in advance for your help. it is greatly appreciated/

if you get headers get long tubes as shorties aren't really good for any power.4:10 gears will get ya goin fast but if you drive fast on the interstate you lose mpg. PP or bbk throttle body will be good for some hp..i've bought damn near everything for my truck off ebay stores and never had a problem..Comp Cams 102600 are good, thats what i have..they go good with a set of ported heads from Fox Lake Racing or Patriot performance.

Every time any of my friends even mention a power adder, I tell them to add in the forged stuff, unless they enjoy fireworks and death by rod impalement.
