Felpro gaskets for the plenum and the intake. While the plenum is off, remove the TB, give it a good scrubbing. Check the DYI threads for cleaning it. Also chase the threads for the bolts for the t-stat,and grind the tab off the housing. Check and torque the Valve cover gaskets, or replace them since you have alot of open area. I could continue.

Well, since you asked. Lets backtrack a little. Make sure you have all the gaskets you will need for the plenum, including a new TB gasket. Also a good time to check/replace the sensors on the plenum. Follow the DYI thread on doing a Kegger Mod for some good pics and descriptions. Also, oil change? Your gonna be tied up a bit doing the plenum, so why not? i have no idea what cash you have available, but check everything over, and replace where you can. Clean the AIC, and the TPS.

In short, the DYI Threads are your best resource. Look for topics related to what your working on.
