Default new guy looking for advice.

I have a 90 lx 5.0. Upgrades include under drive pullies, cold air intake, gt40p iron heads, flo master exaust, bbk shorty headers. Ive got the top end tore apart now. I am thinking about doin these upgrades.

75mm throttle body
smog pump elimination pully
ac elimination pully
new maf censor-need to know what kind to get

I am no machanic, I did put this engine (crate) in myself a year ago using a chiltons. But Im not goin to pretend to know much about upgrades. I need to know if the upgrades I listed would be the best bang for my buck. also considering a computer chip and cobra intake. Any help would be much appreciated.

If those are GT-40P heads make sure you have the P spacific headers from Mac of Ford Racing, but you can make other headers work with some modifications. As for best bang for buck you will need to complete what you have already started and i would suggest to get a cobra or explorer intake manifold cause you have the heads now and the stock intake manifold will be your biggest restriction. Also get a 65mm T.B. and C&L 76mm Air Meter, a set of 1.7 Roller Rockers if you are useing a stock cam. I went low 8's in 1/8 mile with this set up with 3.73 a Drag Radials in a Coupe with stock fan and A/C.
