Lockers, more power, and really good mud tires. Go selectable locker if you can afford it.

I've got interco super swamper radials on my jeep. Work great and seem to be lasting a while. I also had a set on my 81 f150.

Soooo Many Ideas, so little money! The largest impact you can make is, Height. It sounds like you've got some experience, either by being a spectator or from wrenching. I would get myself down to a few large races. Get a pit-pass and take a camera with you. Check out the competition's rigs and ask what they're using. Gears, front and back, tire combo's, bead-locks, fuel cell, shocks, everything to do with suspension. FORDS already have the drivetrain down- Dana 44's front and back. NP203 gear drive T-Case. You will need an engine that can easily get up to 8-10k rpm in a matter of seconds. Since most holes are between 50' and 100' long, most everyone is now running 3-4 second passes. If you want more, I'll e-mail you some great ideas. Good luck....
