Smile What to upgrade next?

Hello,

I have a 95 F-150 Flareside with 5.0L 4x4 with automatic transmission. I have installed a K & N filter in the OEM filter housing and have dual cats and 2 3/4" exhaust installed.

What would be the next best investment to get more ZIP without spending thousands of dollars?

Thanks for your opinions...

John

Headers... good power for what little $$ you have to spend on them

Thanks for the advice so far.

I have been looking at the DiabloSport Delta Chip. Does anyone have any experience good or bad with this hardware?

go over to the chip section and read all you want. best bang for the buck is a chip/tuner.

I would do headers next to compliment your exhaust system. I've got electric fans and they help out alot in the power department, not to mention way better cooling than the factory clutch fan.

My vote is for headers and electric fans
