also, the tfs 1 will go into a stock 5.0 without any p/v clearance issues correct?

They say that IMHO to cover thier arse in that it prob. will not play nice with all computers. It also seems to run alittle richer at idle than the stocker so a tune or tuner would be best.

The tfs1 with 1.6rockers should fit fine.

You will need to upgrade the fuel system if you upgrade to the h/c/i kit. More air needs more fuel, and the stock injectors are not capable of handling the task at high loads/rpms. And when you replace the injectors, you will either need a tune, a tuner, or a mass air calibrated for the injectors you choose.

The fuel pump is another necessary fuel upgrade , but no calibration is needed for a bigger pump.

Your choice, but I went with the tuner even after I got the MAF just to get it to idle right.

Yeah I was running my 19's too with the same combo and it didn't ping or turn the plugs white. But I didn't have my tweecer yet, so I wish I could have seen what DC the injectors were running at.
