I need power!!!
Ok i just got a new 2001 Ford f-150. Its so sick, but it came with a 4.6L. It has a 5in RCD suspension lift, and a 3in Performance Accesories Bod Lift,so 8in total, it has 36' Parnelli Jones. Nice tires, but It has no pick up at all. What can i do to the engine to get me going again? I got a AEM Brute Force Intake, and Dual Flowmasters 40 Series... would headers improve performance? or lose back pressure? Is a programmer worth the money? SuperChargers, would I have to change anything, transmission? gears? any suggestions would help, thnx.

change your ring and pinions to 4.56. youll get a lot of it back. Headers are good but the gears will do the best to offset those tires on there. If you want a race truck then you cant have 8 inches of lift and 36's or at least that's my experience.

Hey guys I'm new to this site, but from what I see its pretty good. Anyways I have a 97f150 V6 w/auto transmission, and I also have a 95 mustang 5.0 engine. I was wondering if the truck's tranny would hook up to my mustang motor? If that didn't work then would the 5.0 tranny hook up and work right w/my truck? I would love to do this swap. There's not enough umph in my V6. Also if there are any other changes that I would need to do I would love to hear some ideas.
Thanks, PLEASE HELP!
P.S. I WANT A RACE TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
