Here is a thread I started a little while ago that goes over all the questions that may arise. I have the same set up but I am converting to MAF as soon as I get all my parts together

To see any appreciable gains with performance parts, you really need to go MAF.

+1 for needing MAF to get hp gains. And there are very few mods that are SD friendly at least as far as cams and such go

As far as the MAF conversion goes you can buy kits but they get a little pricey. All you need is a harness out of a MAF truck, MAF PCM that will work correctly with your trans and the MAF meter, and the MAF intake. If you are going with a single throttle body you can use an aftermarket universal tube. If you can find all your parts in a JY or eBay you can get out pretty cheap. I did it that way and I think im around 200 in it as opposed to 700+ for a kit. I did buy a MAF meter that won't work for my PCM I will let go for cheap if he is interested
