Default Considering Procharger for 2013 5.0 3.55

https://www.stage3motorsports.com/1F...ercharger.html

considering the lower level kit mostly as it appears to be easier/quicker to install

any real advantage to front vs rear intake?

will the air to air inter cooler fit with the transmission cooler where it is?

will it fit with the hidden winch installed?

I just got off the phone Procharger. More importantly, reviewed the install sheet which they emailed as the OLD OLD one is on their website (that pisses me off).

I THINK it will fit with the winch in there as the lower intercooler brackets use the two bolts next to the hood release and not lower like I thought.

Dude said to get the helical gear option and save the money by not doing Stage 2 (and drops the install time about 2 hours) and stick with rear air intake.

What are the odds Ford would need to update or flash PCM for any reason?

once the tune is installed, you obviously can’t take it out unless the equipment is removed.

Im probably over thinking it.

Sure they do, but they don’t automatically update everyone’s trucks without prior knowledge or consent.

gotcha. I’ve read the stories where it is in for troubleshooting and they update.

Will buy an insert for the OBD PORT
