Alright ladies and gents, what can i do to get more power outta my 95 5.8? Ive already got headers, intake, and throttle body spacer planned. Anything else? I know these trucks are a bit to old for programmers right?

Make sure your cats arent clogged. Or gut them if you dont get smogged. I didnt tell you to gut them though.
Big 3 upgrade can help if your grounds are bad. Maybe electric fan to reduce drag on the engine?

Yea ive contemplated guttin the cat but ive also thought about buying a highflow. What states do u get smogged in? And whats the big three. Oh and electric fans was in tge works too. Thanks

I've heard throttle spacers don't do crap.

Well im from Good Ole Fun Ruinin California so i have to smog. I dont know about smogging in Florida though
Big 3 is when you take your ground wires from your battery, frame, chassis and engine block and replace them. http://www.fullsizebronco.com/forum/...d.php?t=104389

no sniffer here in Fl so you're lucky there. Tb spacer will be a waste of money. this tune up should help out as well http://fullsizebronco.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63592

Yea but i plan on joining reserves after high school and going to ohio state in three years. And theres no way im selling this truck. So what do you think? Knock all the crap out and just buy a high flow whenever i move somewhere that requires it? And im kind of leary of doing the timing adjustment on my 5.8. Any potential problems?

Not really, just go for it. Word for word. And do use the motorcraft plugs like they say. Apparently theyre better at conducting and can handle a larger spark kernal or something, when gapped right.
Just follow the instructions youll be ok
