456's are in

And let me tell you.. the power i have back now is great.. I updated my edge and re programed the truck and it's like a new truck.... Should have no trouble towing anything any more. Leaving friday morning with 9k behind the truck and i shoud do it just fine... I no longer have the nitto's on the truck i have since replaced them with the new BFG's... And my junky flow master ritted off. and i replaced that with a gibson... were set now....

Which engine do you have and are you running headers?

I have a friend that has an 04-05 F150 that is trying to get some power back, but he only has the 4.6L. He asked me about headers and pullys, but I was thinking that gears might be the better way to go. He already has a programmer, CAI, aftermarket cat-back exhaust, leveling kit and Mud Grapplers (33" or 35"). I am not real familiar on the newer trucks. Glad yours is working out for you. Those 4.56's should make it a towing machine.

Mark, sounds like you didn't leave anything out. What style Gibson did you get? I got the super truck and it sounds great. Have a good trip.

I believe he should have made up gas mileage since he has those bigger tires on there.

If you get near 10mpg I will be shocked. These pickups aren't great on mileage when they are being bobtailed.
