The FREE or INEXPENSIVE mod list for Fords!!!
One question that keeps coming up is what can I do to my truck that costs little or no money, to get a bit more power.
Well, there's an old adage that says there's no such thing as a free lunch. And that holds true with trucks, too. So, this attempts to provide some ideas of things you can do on a budget to get a little more power. Very few mods are free ;-) -- if you want real power, you'll have to spend some money. 1) Remove the slack from your throttle cable for a little better throttle response (up to '03 trucks) 2) Remove the air intake silencer 3) Clean your Mass Airflow Sensor for a better running engine 4) Gotts Intake Modification 5) Add a Throttle body Spacer Now if you've done those things, you'll have to think about spending some money on the popular mods like cat-back exhaust, cold air intake kits, programmers/tuners, etc. I will work up something on the Gotts mod and post it up sometime this week for those of you who do not know what it is. Hope this helps :) |
I made it a sticky and changed the title, Great idea!

K&N is the best out there
I originally bought a S&B fror my 5.4L V8 f150 and it was a complete mess. After spending 2 hours trying to install it, my engine light was constantly flipping on. I ditched it for a K&N intake and they defiantly have it figured out at k&n. It took like 30 min to install had no problems and i can actually hear it sucking air when I get on the gas. It was only like 10 bucks more than the s&b. I found the K&N cheapest at www.coopscustoms.com

Spectre Cold Air Intake
Ive found that Spectre Air Intakes are good to, I noticed them on horsepower tv on the speed channel. I googled spectre and noticed www.intakesandaccessories.com has the spectre cold air intake for about 100 less than the K&N i bought.

just regular tune ups will improve alot. change your distributer cap and roter, spark plugs, and do an oil change. i have heard that thoes e3 spark plugs are actually pretty good too...never used them but ill probablly purchase a set the next time i change my plugs.
