There must be a ton of us doing the plenum thing. I wasn't even gonna touch it until I saw all the posts on it.

The only thing I used not listed was tons of enigine degreaser and rags to stuff the motor with. But like you I am all ears.

Id say definetly the water pump bypass hose and the t-stat. Anything else you see in my list, but the plenum kit has you pretty well covered for the most part.

Ford motorsport 24lb/hr injectors. See sig for part number. if you are putting on the fastman the 24 lb/hr injectors will compliment the higher airflow with the extra fuel they provide. And go with an open element air filter. If you are getting more air in the engine, you will get more power with more fuel as well. Then if you get a Mopar PCM or B&G...you will really see a difference with the injectors.

Getting the heat shield tape for your fuel rail would be cool to do....as well as some orange paint!

edit. While everything is off...adding an underdrive crank pulley will free up some HP. I am gonna do pulleys, electric fan, 4 degree advance timing chain,and a fastman with my plenum install. Like you, I want to get as much done as i can with everything off.

BTW, where can i get a hughes plenum kit? I have been searching and i can't find it.
