Smile Turbo'ed 4.9
I have heard of people souping up their 4.9 I6 so I just wondered if any of you had done any major upgrades to your 4.9's.

I imagine there's someone on this site that's done it, but if you want to find an actual forum dedicated to the craft, check out fordsix.com

You can hop up the 300 pretty good without the hair dryer, search out Col. Flashman and check the specs on his build.
