Look for a used Edge Evolution or a SCT3, both can be had for right at $200-$250, do the gotts mod or CAI and exhaust. Order up a custom tune and it will really change how the truck runs.

It's also not a constant gain in hp, or in any way beneficial for a street/daily driven pickup. Not to mention in the hands of an inexperienced driver, it can have catastrophic results on the engine. Nitrous is like a hot chick with an std. You want to hit it, but you are terrified of the consequences

I have seen you offer this advice 10 times in different threads......Nitrous has its places, in a daily driven 2003 F150 with probable over 100K miles, is not one of them, especially if the rest of the truck is stock.

On my 07 5.4 I used black flexible downspout tubing, worked like a charm and is some what "thin" so it goes into the fender hole easily. It's held in place by some clear silicone. Been there for 10K miles and hasnt moved.

I doubt it, he posts in in every thread about trying to gain HP. Sure, if you have a civic or mistubishi, go for it, but for a daily driven F150, no go.
