Bigg Boost
Has anyone ever done this BIGG BOOST mod to their truck?...i saw it on that powerstroke guy's youtube videos but when i found it on ebay it said it was only for the 99+ trucks.
Also i have a 6" lift and 36" swampers on my truck with 16.5" wheels dual 5" stacks 4" dp & K&N. I wanna go a little more conservative because ill be driving a half hour to work everyday. Its either do some mods to drive this truck or sell it for a 4 banger. Whats the best suggestion? I know 16.5 tires are going out of style but i love the truck...i wanna know what size to go but not make it look like a huge lift with tiny tires

Loose the K&N(they are not good for our trucks) and get a 6637 air filter......you can find cheap 16 wheels pretty easy and get a very mild AT kept at max psi and drive it(16.5's can still be found too).....keep your mileage up by keeping your foot out of it(stay below 2k RPM).....you did not say if you have gauges,if you do and you like to see them move you will not get MPG's out of your truck.JMHO

i have 18" wheels with 325/65 tires equiv of a 35. with a 4 inch lift I would think something along those lines would look good even with a 6" lift. You'll spend anywhere from 200 to 400 a tire though depending on what you get

Here it is on Ebay. Still not really sure what it is or what it does. I'm pretty sure that it is not the turbo he is selling, even though it is pictured. I'm pretty sure what he is selling is the little black plastic deal.

THAT GUY IS AN IDIOT!! Unless you like to loose brain cells please stop watching his videos NOW!! His "bigg Boost" mod is to blow so much hot air at anybody that will listen to him just to Boost his ego! That guy has so much bad info mixed in with a little good/correct info it just ain't funny!
