I want more power but need advice...

[Fishdizzle]

I want more power!!! LOL right now I have a 6# lower, mac catback, k&n intake....
I don't want to build the engine just yet and I don't want to change out the s/c and I wanna keep it safe...

I'm going to be getting my catless longtubes installed later this month along with some cooling mods buy what other things can I do to give me alil more power or alot more if theres ways

Also if anyone can show me where I ca. Find weight reduction info or post some for me that would be great

suspension?

 

[ecoastkid]

before you go any further....you need a tune. Otherwise bye by motor...Also make sure you get either a maf extender or new maf.

sorry its already lowered on what looks like ground force all around what it came with when I bought it...
and its tuned by greg at RET

if you nickel and dime in the beginning you will spend more in the end

long tubes wont add any power and you wont utilize them until you start pushing more air through the motor, with an after market supercharger

Get a Whipple or Kenne Bell and you will be much happier in the end

You could get ur blower ported..Or just save for a KB/Whipple, which I am doing right now

 

[87vertgt]

we are both on the same page...I think I am just gonna save for another blower.....

 

[Fishdizzle]

but the whole reason I wanted to keep the stock blower so I didn't have to build the engine ....

 

[Charlie41]

You don't have to build the engine. Just keep the boost down and don't get too aggressive with the timing.

All in the tune. Get a Whipple/Kenne Bell and just keep the timing down and have a rich tune. JMO.

 

[philip]

Port the blower and get a dyno tune. also some traction bars will help you put the power to the ground.

 

[Fishdizzle]

hmm I was thinking of possibly spraying ? What do you guys think of that?

 

[castellscl]

You wouldn't happen to be in 29 palms would you? Anyways, I'd get traction bars before you get anything else. No matter what other mods you do to the truck from this point on, you're gonna need to the some bars.

I'm holding off on a whipple until I get enough $$ to go built. I don't want to have to worry about it.

I have almost the same mods as you, and the bars are my next purchase.... once I get the Card paid off.

LOL I love it when guys are worried about their blocks when adding a aftermarket supercharger

I personally have friends who have been running kenne bells for YEARS on stock blocks with no problems I have posted about my friend Mark who runs mid 11's in the 1/4 with a Kenne Bell and has done so for years now

ITS NOT THE BLOWER ITS THE TUNE that causes the motor to pop

I had a 4# lower pulley, airaid intake, flowmaster exhaust and a single flash chip in my 2002 Lightning and blew the motor , it was too much timing and too lean for cooler weather

 

[Fishdizzle]

what size KB or whipple can i run on the stock block ? and pulley size and the WHP that i can make on it?

[FordFanStan]

Can do. ...

Seriously though, give us a call and we can recommend the proper parts if any for what your wanting. Your nearing a fine line on the stocker, so you need to take careful consideration in what you do with your truck... Stan
