Default Because I'm an addict...

Even though I have an 11 second F150, I just can't keep my work 98' stock. I ave already put a 03 5.4 engine in an I'm ready to go further. So here's my plan:

Headers. Long tubes are a must, needs to fit my 4wd, hoping to find a cheap set that includes the Y-pipe.

Magnaflow muffler on stock piping. She's built for torque so I do not need huge piping.

Intake. It needs to be a closed design, I found one but can't remember the brand. Or should I just modify the stock intake?

Most importantly, a tune. I have a spare sct tuner I'd like to use, who do you guys recommend for tuning it? MPT?

I left the 4.6 high stall converter in it and love it.

I appreciate and help/comments even criticism.

Go check out the "engine Builders Talk" thread. Those guys can set you straight with no problem.

Definitely use MPT and an SCT tuner to get the custom tunes you need.

No problem bud. Sometimes it takes them a bit to answer but they know their stuff.
