Default Shopping Spree

Everytime that I deploy, I usually blow a decent chunk of money a few months before hand, not sure why, just cuz. Well, I am getting to that point, the mrs. still wont let me play with the car, so I am gonna buy stuff for the truck. A small list so far, but I am getting:

A newer cold air induction
headers
underdrive pulleys
electric fans
and finish it off by dropping it a few inches

Anything that I am missing that wont break the bank??

For sure, today I am getting pricing and advice from the ford forum. Probably order a few of the parts also. But I will definatly get pics up. Lowering it will probably be the last thing done.

1998 f150 w/ 4.6L

I forgot the throttle body spacer. Right now I am estimating between 60-70 hp gains with everything, but that is using manufacturer numbers, so I am guessing it will be closer to 60.
