Answer
Ryan-

  The mass air kit is a great start...otherwise the computer wouldn't respond to mods.  As for the intake, a typical Mustang intake wouldn't work on your truck since the inlet faces the other way.  I believe there are some performance truck intakes out there, but the most readily available intake that'll work is the Ford GT-40 intake since it can be bolted on with the upper plenum facing either way (symetry is a beautiful thing).  It's a bit more expensive than most of the available Mustang intakes, but it's the simplest solution.  Plus it's just an all around good intake.  As for roller rockers...I honestly wouldn't go for them.  They just create the effect of a bigger cam.  It's better (in my opinion at least) to actually install a slightly larger cam.  That way you'll have the added effects of the different specs rather than just giving your stock cam a slight bump.  Hope this helps.
