I've seen a few articles on a 10k mod, and something about a ball bearing mod to the fuel pressure, can someone lead me in the right direction on how to do these myself? Also, I already have an Edge Evolution programmer on it, can I still do this stuff, and it will be ok? I also have the pyro, boost, and water temp gauges hooked up, with an AEM intake, 3 1/2" downpipe, 4" straight exhaust. Thanks!!

There are some great instructions for the 10k and bb on that site.
The 10k will give your engine a rough idle but add some power. The bb shim gives a smoother idle but doesnt add any power.

 

Whats better the BB mod or shimming the fuel regulator with the 3/16 spacer behind the spring ? explained just about the BB mod on his site ?

 

I notice a big improvement from dead stop acceleration, you sure on that?

 

I had to remove the 10k mod on my mule when I loaded the Edge Evolution programs; it would throw codes as soon as I touched the pedal.

 

shimming the FPR and the BB mod are the same mod. simply putting more tension on the spring to boost fuel pressure. pretty much any 3/16 spacer whether a bb or some other spacer will work.

 

there is also a ford spring kit, don't know the part number off hte top of my head, also for boosting the fuel pressure. It's for the california trucks. Also if you do add a programmer the 10K mod will mess with it. Most programers do what the 10K mod is doing so doubleing it up doesn't help.

 

anyone happen to have any pics of how they did thier 10k mod?

I didnt notice any change in power, only a slight improvement with the idle. I ended up setting mine at 70psi. If anything this might give 1-2 hp which is not enough for my "seat of my pants" dyno. But I wasnt expecting any power gain with this mod, I just wanted a smoother idle. But you have to say this is the cheapest mod ever!

 

I did the FPR shim prior to doing the 10k mod since i had a BB and some extra time on my hands. This was months ago. I can't say I noticed any major difference in idle smoothness or power (didn't expect a power boost)
Just last weekend I did the 10k mod-awesome difference for a $.40 resistor!
I did not notice any appreciable difference in the smoothness/roughness of my truck at idle after installing the 10k. I am assuming that it is because I already did the FPR shim. Or else I am just fortunate.
Anyway, both are very cheap mods and the 10k simply has to be the most cost effective way to boost performance of your truck. I am talking about an absolutely noticeable difference in overall performance for less than a buck and an hour (at most!) of your time.
Can't beat that!

 

i just did the fpr shim set to 75psi... the throttle seems crisper but thats about it. im gonna try the 10k mod tomorrow.. Thanks for posting up those pics

 

Am I getting this right? It is a bad idea to do the 10k mod if I have the Edge Evolution Programmer and am running the middle program.

 

How do you set the fuel pressure ? DICK7.3 ? ForemanES ?

 

Mine came out to 75psi with just putting in the bb. right below the brass plug theres a nipple. i just put a tire pressure guage up to it... be careful though because it'll spit out some fuel
