Performance mods
Hello, I am new to the forum and I realize that my name might tick off some people but that is what it is on a ton of other forums and I don't want to get confused. I have a 2002 F-150 (I also own a 90 5.0) with the 5.4, 3.55 rear, cold air kit and a spintech dual set up with x-pipe and stock cats. It is 2 wheel drive, ext. cab and fully loaded XLT Lariat package. I was wondering what would be the next mods that you would do to bring on more power? The simpler and cheaper the better!

Welcome. The name doesn't pizz me off. My "toy" is a Chevy.(see sig). It sounds as though you have a good start on getting more power already.
I have a 97 F150 4.6 with 3:55's, and all I've done is a K&N, and I'm satisfied with that.
Alot of folks who know how to mod these things hang here...they'll be along shortly.

theres alot of places you can start on that just depending on your budget. programmers,throttle bodys,gearing,trans shifter kits,pretty much all determined on what your willing to spend. If i where to look for more power i would start of buy tweaking with a programmer. Hypertech and superchips have em, and usaully run around 300.00 to 400.00, and good thing about these is when you modify your truck they can be adjusted to the mods. Now if i had some cash theres no doubt about it a supercharger or nitrous would be the choice, with leaning towards the supercharger more than the nitrous. In the gallery there are alot of vehicle pics with upgrades on them that should be helpfull.

chevyman22 - you can take a look at my website for some inexpensive modifications. Even though I have a 4.6, the same things can be done to your 5.4.

code_red - They sure did. I had those heads sitting in the basement for 6 months before I put them on. I only wish I didn't wait as long.
