    Your throttle body is fine. Get a tune first off, some long tube headers.

    A stall with help your 4.8 out alot.

    if you dont want a stall get a 216 or 218 cam

    get gears...4:10s or so your 4.8 will love them.

    X3, That would be an awesome setup, I wouldn't go much bigger than that in a 4.8 either...bigger isn't always better.
