Alright, so what would you guy recommend as far as parts to increase HP in a 351w? It's gonna be gettin rebuilt, budget of around $2500.

If I was on a cheap budget like that, I would consider the Ford Racing x303 cam (new) and ported GT-40 heads (used) and bigger injectors with MAF (new), Ford racing headers(used of ebay) and dual exhaust.

Ok thanks.

It's already got dual magnaflow exhaust and k&n cold air intake, so I'll re-use those.

Alphabet cam is a waste of time on a truck. Comp cams has a good selection for your truck. Keep in mine that about .512 lift is going to be the maximum you want unless you want to change pistons. There are also better heads out there than GT40's but they are also a good upgrade for a budget build. The W came stock (fuel infected) with 215 ponies under the hood. They can turn alot more though.

Alright, so basically I'll do gt40 heads, headers going into the magnaflows, keep the CAI, and what does a MAF conversion do?

If I'm not mistaken, the GT40 heads need to be drilled out to 1/2" from the current 7/16" hole to accept the 351 head bolts.....as for the MAF, it is tied into your injector sizing and throttle body size....
