I just got a 08 F150 5.4 3.73's
What is the best upgrade for performance?
I was thinking about a AIRAID intake kit? Any one using them or a better one. Thanks

 

Volant CAI and then an Edge programmer

There was a long post about this over at www.ford-truck.com and alot of guys loved the volant over most others

 

Programer first. I would not waste my money on anything untill I had a programer with custom tunes.

 

save your money then buy exhaust, intake and programmer at the same time.

 

Yeah///all good suggestions. And as Fitz stated...dont waste the $$ on a canned tuner. Go SCT or Gryphon.

 

i would get everything else first then the programmer

 

Before buying the programmer I would check warranty.. ifyour truck is an 08 than it still has some.. Thats the one thing stopping me from buying the programmer.... not only that I would do the CIA and exaust then programmer with a custom tune to fit your CIA and Exhaust

I believe the programmer is the only mod your thinking of that will affect the warranty

 

if you get a programmer like the gryphon/edge, that can switch back to the stock code you won't have warranty issues. So if you have to take it in for issues switch it back to stock before bringing it in and you wont have any problems

 

OK well thats good to know.. because I'd like one But with a custom tune would it be better to have the CIA and exhaust first or does it matter??

 

Most shops give free revs for 6 months so as long as you get the intake with in that time fram your good.The exhaust doesnt really matter as long as its just a cat back.Better still get the intake and programmer at the same time.S+B intake with xcal3 custom tuned for 644.00 at 5 star You wont find a better deal than that.
