>Finally got my truck. 2001 F250 V10 SC SB.
Congats on the nice truck!
>Hmmmmm, what to mod first??
My 2 cents: The biggest noticeable difference I saw on my X was doing the K&N FIPK. I haven't put in a chip yet - but on all accounts that would do even more per $ (if you're not sure do both!) Remember a chip only helps if you run 91 octane gas!
Mike,
2000 Excursion XLT 4x4 V10 - 6" Fabtech Lift, Weld Wheels, 35" BFG Mudders, Rancho RS9000 shocks w/ control + steering stabilizer, Helwig Sway Bar, SuperLift True-Speed, K&N, Banks Headers, Magnaflow, Goodyear Airbags w/ control

Except the Kenne Bell 'Switch Chip', it has an on-off switch. It requires premium also, but only when you hit the on button. But yes, 'bang for buck' HAS to be a chip. 30-ish HP for $300 ?? Got to be the deal of the day. Then the air mods (I only wish K&N made a FIPK for my rig), then exhaust would be my order of mods. Congrats on the new truck, she's a beaut ! Ken, 1998 E-350 15 pass V-10 E4OD.
