i have an 07 f150 4.6(yes i kno 4.6 thats the start of not a good 0-60 lol).i have a k and n cold air intake and a si/do flowmaster.Around 4000rpm it starts hauln but my lows are slow.i run between a 10-11(its just plain sad) so how can i get those low rpms to get me goin at a reasonable price that is affordable??

i would start looking into a tuner and some gears to help your lowend power!!!

What's the gearing in the rear end? Probably a 3.55 - might help to move to a 4.10 but you'll give up a mpg or 2

brocker

ya its the 3.55.how much would re gearing cost?im all for working on my own truck and i do all my other work but i know theres ALOT that goes into regearing.any ideas as to how much?

06fordf150

is it 2 or 4wd 2wd is cheaper only cos you dont have a front differential to gear!!

I would look into a tuner especially since you have an exhaust and CAI...custom tunes would be the way to go...Gears are also a good suggestion if you want it quicker...That 4.6 is a great motor but will only give you so much.

brocker

its a 2wd. and ya have looked into those to.trying to keep the waranty lol trying.the nice part about gears is honestly unless its the rear dif how are they going to kno but a tuner leaves a code.thats a whole other forum i got going on here lol so ive hit the basics except tuner and gears but i have 0 idea how much it would be to get gears done and the truck tuned for those gears

the gears if u buy ford racing ones which i suggest because the motive ones suk *** are usually around two fifty then the install is gonna cost u bout two fifty to four hundred depends on who u have do it and should only take the shop eight or less hours to do if they say it will take longer theyre tryin to rack up the price and the master install kit from fordracing is about ahundred then buy royal purple gear oil about eighty bucks or so and additive like ten bucks should cost u close to a grand total for a gear swap havin a respectful shop do it just make sure u buy everything before hand cuz the shop will have it but will charge u an arm and a leg for everything just because they can

if you want a better take off and you already have a cai and exhaust try to look for a cheap set of shorty headers i suggest hedman or pacesetter you don't have to get the ceramic ones or even the armor coated ones you can improvise with some heat wrap. these headers are easy to install they bolt on to the stock pipes i just don't know if they wouild void your warranty. they should give you a better pick up in the 0-60 range.

i do not believe a tuner leaves any traceable codes on the computer. That is the reason reset them back to stock prior to taking to dealer. The tuner holds your stock settings also.
