Hey i'm glad i started this thread lol.. I know about the 02 sensor deal. I was wondering what inexpensive brand people might have used that fit well. I've always used top notch stuff in my other muscle cars, but not going that route with this truck.

You are still talking about headers, right? I am not sure what you think inexpensive is, but for me I have picked out a set of Hooker headers for 180

these are for a 351, not sure what motor you have, but my dad has had good luck with hookers before... wait, that didnt come out right

The parts used in step 1 and 2 I got from FFI.
Everything else I used I got from NAPA.

The only bad thing about going the inexpensive route is, how cheap do you go before you end up with a crap product that you have problems with or have to replace all the time, doesnt end up being so cheap then. I have heard that summit headers have problems sealing, but I havent used them, that is second hand info so take it with a grain of salt.

Hey Guys, I'm second chance. I got this name because I went to a body shop to do some custom work on a car and saw this old black cab and chassis sitting on the other side of the shop. The owner said he bought it in 95 going to rebuild it and lost intrest. I bought it.It is a 95 ford f-150 with 11500 origional miles. It is a XLT and 4x4. I have spent the last 8 months redoing the truck. It turned out great. I love the truck except for the horse power and the fuel milage. I am an x Dodge man and from what I am seeing so far the 318 magium gets better fuel milage and would pull my truck in half. Can you guys help me? or do I half to figure it out on my own. Thanks

Thats OK, I figure the folks on here have tried a lot of things and would know which ones would do what they say they will and which ones are just extra weight. A lot of systems have a "weak link" (i.e fuel system mods,ign.mods) and the best results are gained by starting with them

-K&N intake
