===================
Except for the hood (BTW, there will be very little, if any, performance
gained with the hood although it would look very good), all of the above
mods will put you in E Street Prepared. If it were my money to spend, I'd
forget the computer upgrade and get some real race tires and a spare set of
wheels to mount 'em on.

Lowering the truck, stiffer springs and some beefy swaybars will be well
worth the money spent.

=======================
Oh boy, here's a can o' worms but if you really want to get serious about
finishing well in autocrossing you'll want a set of "R" compound tires such
as BFG G-Forces, Kumho V700s, Hoosiers, Toyos, etc.

Careful now, or I'll have to hike a rear tire at you. ;^)
Good luck.
See you on course.

Take a ton of bolt and steel
A whole lotta sweat, a set of wheels.....On the Speedway.
The flag is down, pistons pound
Plenty of engines ripping around......On the Speedway.
