I've installed 3923's, 180 T-stat, Flowmaster 3" Cat back exhaust, removed clutch fan, and I am deciding between new F&B 70mm TB with Z-tube or K&N Gen II FIPK. Is there any other mods I can do to increase my performance while making my decision? I am from Canada so when I order stuff from Speedtweaks it costs me double what the US price is after exchange and duty. I want to make sure I buy something that will be worth my while.

Go with an ignition system - any aftermarket will make you happy. Also consider a JET performance chip to get better tuning, rather than relying on OEM tuning.
Those two things are great together!

Thanx TigerDak I had thought about those. Sorry forgot to mention I have a 2000 CC 4.7L 5 Speed w/3.55 LSD. I heard MSD has a new ignition for the 4.7L, but has no boost retard. What the hell is that for, SC?
I heard Jet chips aren't that great. I don't want to run premium fuel since it's like 66.9 cents a liter here, that $2.56 per gallon (3.83L = 1 US Gallon). Anyone else have some more ideas for me?

Ouch, $2.56 per gallon. I just paid $1.439 per gallon at Chevron - regular unleaded.
I would say go with the 70mm Throttle-Body and Intake combo, you need to breathe before you exhale. If you know what I mean?

Ok quit rubbing it in about the gas prices down there boys. Made a conversion error before: 1 gallon = 3.785L. And gas just went up to 68.9cents/L, $2.61 CAN/Gallon. Does anyone have any other performance upgrade ideas?
