1990 XLT Lariat

what would be some good upgrades to a 1990 Ford F150 XLT Lariat, 5.0 V8 engine?Im looking for more over all horsepower and better gas mileage without making it sound loud and obnoxious. Besides a k&n filter... just bought that.. thanks.

if you dont want loud, some headers and a large chamber magnaflow should do quite nicely for opening up exhaust. you should get a noticeable increase in power and some more mileage.

For easy bolt ons go with either BBK or Bassani shorties. If you want to do some modifications for fitment Hooker long tubes for improved low end torque.
