Talking Shopping List

I dont know if youve read any of my past posts...not like I have an extensive history of em ...but heres my deal...

Im currently in England in the Air Force...I own a 02 F250 SC 4x4 V10...Unfortunately I cant drive it *sigh* its sitting in a garage at my parents weekend house in Arizona...There is no way Im bringing that beautiful beast to the small roads of England to get beat up...anyway...since Im over here..and not spending money on fuel Im making shoppin list for when I am to return home...Wonderin if you all wouldnt help me out with some links or rough prices of the products...or even suggestions...Ive been reading posts for some time so I think I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do...let me know...

1. Banks Headers and Transcommand
2. K&N FIPK
3. Superchip programmer
4. Flowmaster 40 series exhaust
5. Accufab or BBK throttle body

Well I think thats all for now...I think its a pretty good start...let me know...also Im in the process of putting up some pictures of my truck on a website...Ill have that out to you soon...

Thanks Again

Steve

Aloha Steve!

Thanks for servin', BTW.

If you're gonna go Banks, why not get the whole shebang? You can then remove the FIPK from your list.

I'd get your tuner from the online store.

Your FM40...I'd start searching ebay.

and the TB... I'll reserve comment so that the guys who have them can tell you where the best place to get them is.

Sounds like your truck is gonna be happy to see you come home, too!

Also, can;t say I blame you for leavin' it behind. Fuel prices in England have to be through the friggin' roof!! Unless you can get it cheaper at an AAFES gas station.

I'd drop the TRANSCOMMAND. What is the price??
You can upgrade to a new valve body for $225 and get great power shifting. The guy that assembles the valve bodies has a good following of HD and Lighting owners. His valve body will work on our trucks.

Get the whole Banks kit, Power Pack, comes with intake and cat-back, headers... about $1500.

Skip the Flowmaster, and K&N. Also skip the programer. With the headers and TB you should get a chip(Superchips or Diablo) and have it burned with the headers in mind. The valve body is a better idea than the trans comand.

As far as the Banks system goes...I have no problem putting in the whole power pack, thanks for the suggestion....but this "valve body" you speak of...Im not real versed in its abilities or advantages...would appreciate an explanation on what it is, where I can get it, and how much I can expect it to run me $$...thanks...

I asked him and was told the 2C valve body would work. The trannys are the same just different internals.
