I'd buy a header kit before any of those products and swap out the stock muffler for an aftermarket one. A chip would be good too.

I have to agree with V10man, the exhaust system would be the first place to start. All the changes to the intake side arent going to give much better results untill you improve the exhaust.

Throttle body spacers are better used as paper weights, basically useless. Get headers. You will be a lot happier.

I'll jump on the bandwagon and recommend spending your money elsewhere. Start with your exhaust first.

Spend the money on the headers and chip. I bought the Granatelli mass air meter, and found it to be the same size as my 2000 V-10 came with from the factory (the 99's was smaller, as a part of the Ford 2000 power increase they switched to the larger mass air meter).
