What are some good mods for a 4.2, I already have a CAI and exhaust on my truck I'm looking for performance increases and MPGs

 

**Bump**

 

Sell it and buy one with a 5.4...

 

I knew that comment was coming LOL.

 

Me too, hes right though ...

I know theres a guy on here that supercharged his 4.2 and that's awesome, but without a supercharger/turbo you cant expect much out of the 4.2.

 

But a SCT Programmer and call it a day.

 

Ha guys like you make me laugh. I love smoking guys like you in my "little" 4.2.

But anyway, some mods you can do are just the basics. Intake, exhaust, and tune. Doing things like that to your truck is always fun and rewarding no matter what's under the hood. If you want to step up even further you could re gear it to have a lot more power at lower speeds. And if you want to go even further than that you can go forced induction which is a whole different level of performance. Some overall specs on your truck would be helpful as well so we can figure out what you're working with.

 

I'm driving a 2001 scab with a custom made exhaust and a CAI(not sure what kind bought it second hand and there are no markings) and I was wondering where I could get a super charger for the 4.2 I've looked around a little but haven't found anything

 

All I've done to my 4.2 is the gotts mod and si/do muffler. 3 inch piping I believe I did lol. Maybe 2 and a half lol. PlUs k$N filter. Far as power I went from a 4 banger ranger too this truck so it was a big jump for me lol. 119 hp to 202hp. Not the fastest one but I manage somehow LMAO. Plus I made a functional hood scoop. That's all I did. Gets me where I'm goin and looks good doin it.

 

3.8L from a mustang is the same block if i'm not mistaken, here's a site selling supercharger kits for that engine: http://www.mysteedperformance.com/0104e.html
