2000 f150 header,intake,superchip
I have a 2000 f-150 4x4 super cab 7700 truck, tires are BF Goodrich LT285/75R16, which I think are 10.5 by 33. Frist I super chipped it it ran a lot better. Than I but a Volant cold air Intake and air filters, it ran really good. Then I thought about JBA headers and Flow Master muffler no cat duel pipe. I have two problems where the air senor wires are to short they fit on without the rubber boot . Do they make a connector to fit to make longer? Next problem is now after the headers I have a high idle problem it is around 1000 and should be at 720 rpm. I chipped it back to stock for two reason one because when I give it a little like 1/8 gas it spins the tires. live in a small town, even at stock it still spin them, but not as bad, still have more power than I need. Unless pulling a trailer then it is great. But does anyone know how to lower the idle down? I also run the Tornado Fuel Saver it made a little diff before everything but a lot more diff after. I think I'm at 17 mpg, and alot more power. If you can help please do so. Thank Andy

The wires to the air cleaner I think it is the air senors. And yes it idles too high with the stock chip in. Is there a way to idle it down? this idle problem didn't start till the header's were put on. I even disconnect the battery. Still no good, I put one thing at a time on, drove it a week, so I could see the diff. I know that at 70 mph it had a hard time passing other cars but not anymore. Too many dps to test full speed at this time.

I see you said there are no cats?
Maybe the ECM has a problem without the cats.
BTW, nice to hear you've had such great improvments. It would be worth the investment to get that much poower and mileage improvment. Maybe I should start down that road!

I'm really interested in these Superchips. How much more HP do you get with the chip, and do you notice a big differance in the way your truck run.
I have a 2000 F150 4X4 with a 5.4 L 3:55 Dif with a custom 3.5 daul exhaust system, K/N filter. Do you think the chip would make a big differance with my set-up.
Thank Elden

Yes I do. do you have any hesitation when you are giving at gas? If so it won't after the chip also give more rpm longer in gears. Because of the problems I have had I havn't check gas mileage yet.

I haven't noticed any hesitation when l give it gas, but really haven't payed any attention. I really don't care about gas mileage
l just want more HP and torque, also was it hard to install anything l should upfront before l install the chip.

Hey apt... I was just wondering how much of a gain you felt from the headers. I have a diablo delta chip and cold air intake in my truck as well. I now have only 2 cats and a moroso spiral flow tube muffler. I have a 4.6L and 3.55 gears. I was thinking of replacing the gears with either 3.73 or 4.10. But if you felt a considerable amount with the headers...I might have a change in plans. I also have 285-75-16 tires and a tornado fuel saver. I am currently only gettin 14.5mpg and it wouldn't think of spinning tires, even at full throttle! I wish I had too much power!
