Question Best "NON-BOOST" increasing mods?

Heres my mods

JLP 4# pully
bassani high flow cats
bassani cat-back
K&N drop in filter
Chip

I made 395rwhp and 495rwtq with those mods. And ran 12.94 @ 105.7mph on the stock F1s in aprox 76degrees 900ft altitude.

Im now ready to do some more mods, but dont want to increase boost (at least via a pully, via increased air flow is fine).

I braket race the truck so consistancy is part of my ambition too (and this thing is suprizingly very very consistant)

Here is what I have come up with so far. whats everyones opinion on them>?

-Ultradyne intercooler cooler (might not be worth more HP, but would make for more consistant passes from more rapid cooling after running)

-CNC'd upper intake (what is it realy worth?)
-Single blade TB (Not entirely sold on this yet)
-Stall convertor
-Custom ram air using stock box (I hate the looks of most aftermarket kits)
-Headers
-Electric water pump (does the mezier clear the blower belt and fit?)
-Electric fan
-Iridium spark plugs (im still running stockers)

What else could anyone add? What kind of gains have some of you seen with similar mods.

Electreic fan - great mod frees up a few HP, truck runs smoother and quieter plus you can cool the truck between rounds

Single Blade TB - will flow better than stock, not sure how much power they give, but I like mine.

Stall converter good mod, but not with stock tires. If you go with a set of slicks they will help your ET. I still like a stock converter better on the street.

Custom ram ait, will help keep the intake charge cooler

Headers and a good cat back system will let the ngine breath better.

The mezier water pump does clear and fits perfect, I have had good luck with mine so far, only time will tell how it will hold up.

I would go with a set of NGK Tr6 plugs, I have had great luck with them, and they are much less money.

I would change your plugs right now with the mods you have.

ported plenum and ported throttle body seems like a good punch for the money.

How about some traction bars to put that power to the ground?

you beat me too it. Get some traction bars, slicks and then a nice TC. In that order. You will love the new hook to go with the power you already have.
