Yeah I'm skeptical too. Do you have any power adders other than exhaust, intake, or Superchip on yours?

Throttle body spacer will do nothing.

You did a torsen key lift? Waste of money, you could have just cranked your torsion bars. :icon_thumby:

When I did the torsion key lift, I made sure to beef up all the front end components so it's not really a cheap build.
Im curious what this means?:icon_confused:

Wheel spacers are a bad idea. Your bearings will thank you if you do not use them.

I cranked them first, and then I put 2" block in the rear with the keys. It honestly made a great combination.

In regards to the "beefy" front end, I have a metal fabricator in the family and we made sure to relieve all the "pressure" that comes in the areas like ball joints, tie rods, custom shocks, etc.

Do you know of any other good performance products? Thanks

Bottom end to mid range power. Like I said ealier, I've a Superchip, intake, and exhaust on it already. Other than that, I'm kind of stuck on what else there is.

Those aren't even "performance" modifications. As Bob Ayers like to say, it's WWR.

Ford pretty much got all they could out of the motor, that's what they do....

You could either downshift or regear the diffs.

ive got those same tires, for as aggresive as they are they seem to remain quiet on the roads however i found out this weekend that they tend to slip if the ground is the least bit moist.

Thanks everyone!! Those wheels look pretty nice too. I might have to look into a set of those. A blower would get the job done though haha...

want more power? TUNER TUNER TUNER TUNER TUNER TUNER TUNER. And Underdrive pulleys. Both of those give you the best bang for the buck.



I still wanna see these 'beefed up suspension parts and custom shocks'...





Throttle body spacers do nothing but make a cool whistle...best $20 I ever spent was a used poweraid spacer...and it's worth it for the $20 I paid. lol.

RP Caster supercharger kit IMO. It's whats goin' on my truck one of these days.

Fx4wannabe01, who makes the poweraid spacer? And I have the Superchip which helped a lot, but I'll look into the underdrive pulleys. What brand do you have? Thanks. I'll try and get some pics soon, but I won't be home for a few days. Thanks again for all your input...
