Default Mild Engine Performance Mods

Hi Everyone,

I was curious on what you have on your own trucks or what you'd recommend for mild engine performance on a 08 5.4L Limited ... just got my turck two weeks ago and so far i've installed a Magnaflow cat-back exhaust system and a K&N air charger kit.. Sounds nice !!! Was going to look into ECU programmers but not sure which one to use.. Any thoughts??

Thanks

The Edge Evolution seems to be a heavily talked about tuner on this forum. I'm purchasing this tuner next month.

You aren't going to get any serious improvements out of exhaust, Intake, E-Fans, Pullies, Tuner. If you got a 100HP with all that I'd be impressed.

If I remember correctly all of this is worth around 70-72hp.

Super Charging it would be great, just not on my wallet.. Here's another question for ya.. Couple buddies of mine that have F150 complain of brake dust from front pads.. Any thoughts on aftermarket pads that would correct this?
