Hey yall ive got a 97 f150 4x4 with a 4.6, im only 16 and in high school and workin so i dont have alot of money. My current mods are straight piped exhaust (cut off right after y pipe) and yes i still have the same low end torque i had before, and a K&N cai, i have others but these are the only performance mods i really have besdies i guss spark plug wires. Anyways im looking to get a some more power out of this 4.6 without spending a fortune, any ideas how to get some cheap ponies? I was thinking about puttin on a set of underdrive pulleys and maybe a tb spacer, good idea/bad idea? Anything would be helpful! thanks guys

 

Save your money on the Throttle body spacer, they don't add anything except $$ in the sellers pocket.

 

ok thanks, i heard something bout gettin some extra low end but thanks for the advice, underdrive pulleys good idea?

 

A programmer will give you the biggest gain.

so the best thing to do will be to just wait and save for a tuner? thanks any tips on which is the best one to get

 

i prefer the Hypertech

 

I'd go with a tuner. Here are some options: http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/performance-chips/10A50207.aspx
