depends on what you are gonna use the truck for, what you are looking to spend and what you want out of it ex. Hp, looks, performance exct. If amything go ahead and help the motor breath by getting a K&N filter and doing the "Gotts Mod". If you need info on it google it or search it on this forum. It cost less than $15, is dune in under 30 min and increases air intake size from 1.5" to 3".

Of you are looking for the "look of" roush or saleen then you should look into body kits, grills and emblems to start. If it's under the hood you should decide what you want, blown, turbo, nos exct. I am sure there are some other guys on here that can get you headed in the right way.
