Default 2008 Lariat going crazy,

A friend of mine just bought a used 2008 Lariat 4-door for a really good deal.

He had a high budget for a truck and a new quad but he decided not to buy the quad and instead he wants to put his money on the truck for more POWER.

and by power I mean it, the guy is going crazy.

so first off all I would like to tel you what I think I will go for but if there is any better, Please tell me.

Ford Racing Whipple Supercharger
Pacesetter L/T Headers with Cats
Livernois Stage 3 cnc ported Heads ( is there any better ? )
a set of cams ( Please guide me to the best onese for my setup )
What will be the best for Fuel pump ?
PLugs ?
Transmition rebuilding ? ( Stock wont hold that much power so what will make it handle ? )

Diffrential stuff ? what ratio ? car wont be used for towing alot only minor towing and lots of highway driving.

MSD Coil on Plugs

MSD Boost a pump.

Anything I missed or really needed ?

Thanks.

He shouldn't have bought a ford if he wanted power. Lol

But, with what you got there it should be somewhat quick.

I would sent those longtubes to jet hot for their ceramic coating. As for a cam these guys are doing a lot with the 3valve motors and custom cams.http://www.blowbyracing.com/index.html sounds like it will be a nice truck.

You dont want the MSD Coil Packs, the stockers are more than adequate and will last alot longer...

How do they tune those things? You can't exactly tune for that with a hypertech..
