Need some help

Ok I have a 97 4.2l F150 completely stock. Now here's the plan:
  • Flowmaster Force II Dual Rear Exit exhaust
  • Gibson Headers
  • K&N Cold Air Intake
  • Jet Power-Flow Throttle Body Spacers
I also want to get a turbocharger, but I can't seem to find anyone that makes a decent turbocharger for a V6. I have thought about getting a 302 and converting it into a 347 stroker, but with what I plan on doing to the v6, it'd be cheaper in my opinion, however, for the power the stroker would be better.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Welcome to FTE, Late Night Out!

The mods that you mention will produce very little additional power. For the best bang for the bucks, the turbocharger would definitely be the best bet. I don't know of any good kits but, some other FTE user is bound to chyme in. In fact it would be better to try posting a question in the Suppercharger/Turbocharger/Nitrous Oxide forum further down the page. Good luck!
