Mod questions

A friend of mine just picked up a 97 F250, we went out last night and before we left he told me he was leaving the truck stock for now as I was talking about the easy mods. After blowing a couple of people away he changed his mind. So I have a few questions, will the napa 6637 filter fit on this truck? Also can I have the links to the cheap mods, like the ccv, 10k,and wastegate mod. How much of a differance dose it make when you pull the wire to the wastegate? And, any other tips?

a 97 doesn't have a wastegate so that won't help it. the 6637 will fit but check my gallery for my version that i copied from tymar. the main reason to do a ccv mod is to get the oil out of the intercoller but the OBS(old body style) doesn't ahve one but i still did it on my 95 to replace that part of the intake to open it up more. for more info there it a site by steve baz that is very goiod for mods and repairs but can't get my hands on a link.

here is a list of the mods i would start with
at very least a 3" downpipe
open element intake (6637) or tyamr
gauges
sonnax valve and tri springs
then finally a chip

yes, the filter will fit on it. i have one on my 95. you jsut need to pull the old airbox and install the filter with a piece of 4'' (i think) exhaust pipe the right length, and use a large hose clamp to hold it all together. this link has a wealthof info, can't reemember if it has the 10K mod info on it or not.... http://pages.prodigy.net/stevebaz/_i...az/index3.html

try a search for "10K" and see what it turns up. good luck
