What should I do next

I have a late model 2004 XLT 4x4. I have put dual flow master exhausts and a Volant complete cold air intake system on it. I have a 2.5 in leveling kit and a set of 305/65r/17 to put on still. When I do do I need to get a programmer and is there anything else?

A supercharger, a 6 inch lift, and a wicked paint job.

My truck is black so I like the paint job already, and my wife is kind of short. Sides I never wanted to go to tall, and a supercharger for this thing is like 5200+ dollars.
Do I need to reprogram it with what I have for it now? What about changing the gearing or adding a Turbo that is less than the supercharger?

Yes, you need a tuner due to the intake/exhaust

He doesnt necessarily need a tuner. That setup could run just fine without one.

how about a set of amp research power steps, they will make it alot easier getting into the truck for your wife making it alot easier for her to let you spend the almost 1300bucks. or what about a bull bar with some decent off road lights, kc piaa etc...

Superchargers are dirt cheap now...that's how I got mine.


in all reality though, I'd just get a Gryphon and leave her be. $3,700 gets you 145 HP...and it is fun, but that is alot of money
