Intake, exhaust, LTs.

Cam can come later if you want.

You may also be clutch shopping as well.

I sprayed stock when I first started, the only problem I had with the stock parts was the small injectors (26 # for 99-00) with my Dry kit when spraying over 50 shot. 42's fixed that. Consider injectors if your thinking big on a dry hit and have a 99-00 with stock injectors.

The wet worked right of the box to 150 shot.

Was running in the 10's with a 100% bone stock long block and not even headers, and of course it was a dry shot. the key is tuning and having the fuel to support the spray. A cam at the levels you are going to be spraying, should be picked based upon your n/a goals, with a little more duration and lift on the exhaust side. No cheaper way to go fast out there, IMO. In my personal web site (link in profile) is some write ups on upgrading the fuel system and sizing tuning the injectors along with info on pulling timing and why when spraying. By the way, my 10.xx runs were with 42lb ford injectors, and with stock injectors my best time was 11.04 and both runs were with upgraded in tank fuel pump. If your thinking dry shot, the best ticket these days is the Dry plate kit and the fueling controller, both from Harris speed Works, check it out, makes spraying so safe and easy. good luck
