What's going on everyone just purchased a 2011 lariat ecoboost screw 4x4 with 14k miles and I absolutely love it. Had a lifted 04 f150 with a couple mods. After going through some post I am definitely impressed with the potential these engines have. Can't wait to start doing some mods. Here's a pic. Just bought a 11 ecoboost-image-3138925286.jpg Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thinking about ordering an afe stage 2 intake. Still debating on what exhaust.

That is low miles for 2011! I bought mine 2 years ago with about that many miles on it.

Thanks guys. It was between this one with 14k miles or another with 24k miles and sunroof. I rather have the low miles and extra warranty for it being cpo then a sunroof. I drive with the windows up 95% of the time anyways. Here's a pic of my 04 not going to lie I do miss it sometimes.

Forget the CAI - no real improvement or difference.

If you are looking for performance, make sure you update your plugs to iridium tipped gapped at .030 (sp534) which you can get for the rather inexpensive price of ~30bucks from rockauto.

At that point, a tune, CAC and down pipe are your best bang for the buck. Just the tune will leave a stain in your shorts.

Congrats, nice truck!

I have been told by Our local tuner that the Factory Ford airbox flows really really well. He said until you start doing other Mods ( larger downpipe, TB, Inlet tubes) You wont gain anything from a aftermarket air box other than the noise it creates. I just Bought a 14 Eco and love it. Like you, I traded in a 04 S-crew that I had done up like I wanted it. I still see it in town from time to time. I wish I could have just transplanted the Eco drivetrain in my 04 and had the best of both worlds as I prefer the styling of the 04-08 trucks. Mine will be going to his shop for the tune in the spring after I get a few more miles on it. Enjoy your truck. Its beautiful.
