What mods next a 460???

Ok i got a 1996 f-250 460 does 0-60 in 6.5-7 seconds and i wanna cut that down to 5.5 seconds...Ok so i got thorley headers,true duels,40 series flowmasters,bbk 65mm throttle body, wraped intake,k&n filter....I don't want to do any internal mods as of this moment in time or in the next year untill it blows up and a make a stroker out of it if the body holds up...

Here the mods that i think may help ok

*underdrive pullys
*electronic shift kit
*adjustable fuel pressure regulator

If anyone has anymore they can think of let me know....

If you can come across a UDP set for a 460 that'll help it out a bit....by electronic transmission shift kit what do you mean?That switch that B&M sells?That's a cheapo.....if you really want a better shifting truck get a valvebody shift kit for it...a few other guys on here have done it to their E4OD's and one guy on another forum is doing his as we speak.....I'm not sure about the FPR...but other than those I'd say a custom burn chip(although you might wanna wait till you rebuild the engine) and a lower gear set......Luck

I believe the 460s come from factory with 1.7 rockers. However I am not 100% on it.
