Also snowmobilerfreak, I know of a couple companies that make superchargers for our engine. I know that would definitely cost a pretty penny but if you gain, what they say, 50% that would put you at or above 300 hp. The more horsepower you have the more of that mean rumble from the exhuast you will get. Plus a supercharger comes with a chip and an intake. So the only things that I would need after a supercharger would be a cam and headers.

I have looked at those superchargers for the 5.8, i just didnt mention it because they are a pretty penny. But you are right, they add a good deal of power. I have the exact link right here for the 5.8

you would need bigger injectors and the MAF to match them. you would need a better flowing fuel pump and an adjustable fuel regulator for a supercharger. i would get 30# injectors for a supercharger.

This is some great information. More ponies. I love it now all I have to do is round up some serious money. Snowmobilerfreak do you have spped density or mass air injection?? I am trying to figure out things that I can do to add some ponies without having to spend too much money. Plus I go to college so expenditures will not completely toward my truck although I wish I could. Priorities have to be kept straight. I guess there are a lot more upgrades that I could do to my enigine than I ever expected.

ok i have some info for you both. does your engine have a dual air inlet throttle body(2 hoses to the intake) or does it have 1 inlet. if it has one, it is MAF, if 2 then speed density. if you have speed density injection then you are limited on your cam selection, very limited but you can use a small cam. you have to get more info. you could swap to MAF injection but you would need the computer and harnesses as well as MAF sensor and some other things.

i got some more info, if the dual hoses go into one or something then to a sensor then it is a MAF. what year is your truck. someone else said that all 95 light duty trucks(f150) have MAF. if you have an OBDII computer then you have MAF. if yours is a heavier duty then you may not.

This may sound stupid but what would you think snowmoblierfreak if I said that I wanted to put 3 1/2" stacks on my truck coming out of the bed??? I know it would look good because my friend has a truck identical to mine and it looks bad ***. What I am wondering if I were to do this what diameter pipe could I use without losing power?? Stacks look better thicker. Would 3" be too big? Could you give me some info on this if you have any??? Also, do you think that it would sound good? would it be worth it??

I realize that I only have a 351. But stacks look better bigger. What if I were to get headers and run 2 1/2" to the flowmaster then run 3" through the bed and out???? How would it sound? Would it be worth it?? Could I use 3" without having a loss in low-end???
