Modifying a 351w

After lifting my F250 2wd and throwing 35s on it and regearing it, i wanna make it faster and quicker. What are a list of things i can do to my 351w to make it get up and down faster?

Cam it up man. Look around there are lots of cam options, with many different configurations (street, towing, mpg)..
Also, Depending where you live and emissions, look at doing exhaust. Some states don't check for removed catalytic converters, but if yours does, they can be had for about $50 online for an aftermarket performance one. Look at a high flow exhaust manifold, or headers.
What gears did you put in? Hopefully 4.10's or thereabouts. That will make a huge difference. Put some pics up!
The airbox in those pulls in cold air from outside the engine comp., so I would stay away from mods other than k&N. Good luck and congrats on getting that stuff done!
