96 5.8 performance upgrades?
Hey guys, Im curious to know what the best performance upgrades are for a 96 f250 5.8 w/o mass air without pulling the engine and going through it. Iv got fresh plugs,wires,coil, and air filter, as well as an exhaust (true duals with no cats and flowmaster 40's) What I would like is some more lower end grunt. Thanks

ford racing cap wires plugs gapped at 0.55
headers and cam is the best bang for your buck tough!
the cheapest cam u can do and work barely without mass air is the Ecam

Throw a new fuel filter on it to get things started.
This might not be good for your application, but in a Ford Performance Truck magazine they put an electric fan on an '02 Lightning and were rewared with 12RWHP and 19RWTQ. I am reasearching the idea on internet for myself...
Is it 4WD? Base timing?
Like Lew said, gears would give you a good seat-of-the-pants improvement.

I see more than one post here about adjusting the timing. I was told that mine is electronically controlled (92 F150, 351W). Is that not the case? I had looked into this a while back but, based on the answers I got, I stopped researching this.
