I have a mock up of aero mods I was planning on putting on my truck somewhere on the forums, you might be able to find it by doing a search of my moniker here.

Besides the aero mods, you might look at changing your exhaust manifolds to the ones on the front side of a Taurus 3.0L Vulcan. They looked much better than the log manifold on the backside... You may still be able to get some 1.7 ratio rocker arms if you want a little more hp. And, does your 3.0L have a plastic upper intake or is it aluminum? The plastic weighs less and is worth 10hp. A phenolic spacer between the two halves would help if yours is all aluminum.

Wow! Good job! That is fantastic! I forgot, did you try any weight reduction yet?
