Mods for a new 06 4.2 V6 F150

I cant find any mods for my new truck. I'm looking to go all out, 100 wet shot and exhaust, those 2 things should wake this truck up. I'm going to tune on the dyno but is this truck running rich enough where I could maybe do a smaller dry shot?

There really aren't that many regulars here who are heavy into nitrous and such. Seems many of us are just guys who use their trucks as daily drivers.
That said, this thread might help: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...ht=performance

AFAIK, there is no K&N, or MAC, or similar intake/air filter setup for the '05 and newer 4.2 F150.

All modern vehicles are designed to run neither rich nor lean. Today's engine and fuel management systems work to keep the fuel/air ratio right where it needs to be.

Best of luck and hope you stick around.

Keep us posted on how things go.

Wow thanks for that great link, I'm almost thinking that it would have been worth that extra $ for a V8 but it looks like there are alot of products out there for the 4.2

First mods, well my problem with the rattle is my cat on the drivers side, so the dealer is going to replace them for me. I'm also playing around with the idea of taking off the muffler and running a nice crome tip out the side right before the passenger side rear tire, then I could open up the air box and get a K&N filter

No real suprise it was the cat.
There have been a few problems with those, only most occur at much higher mileage.
Glad you got it fixed.
Do me a favor, post an update in the thread you started about the noise.
That way folks who check that thread will know the outcome.
Thanks!
