Bolt-On Power

Hey there i'm new to the 5.0 world and i'm needing some suggestions of what i could possibly buy to substantially increase the horsepower on my 93 302. I need new exhaust and had considered the flowmaster super 44 but i'm not for sure. any opinions would be great.

long tube headers with no cats or high flow cats into tru duals or the bassani y-pipe.. do a regular tune up plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and if it has oversize tires gears would be your best bet besides the exhaust

bassani y pipes are definitely top of the line

Ya'll forget...the more she exhales the more she needs to inhale...get a drop in K&N filter no cold air bs..get the tube from the airbox to the front of the truck off of a 460 or 300-6 ...colder air....check out my gallery to see some stuff I did that helped me out ALOT.Matter of fact I blew the doors off a brand new f-150 with a 5.4 and dual exhaust.....Later
