Default few quick questions

one. i did the gotts mod but i didnt take out the silencer. would it perform a little better if i decided to take it out?

two. i have a very free flowing exhaust now that i have no cats and true duals so i was wondering if i could somehow get more gas into the engine by say putting bigger fuel lines in or something to that effect?
any help appreciated

removing the silencer will help some more but if u havent chipped ur truck (or a programmer) more fuel isnt what u need. and the stock lines can flow more then they do now with a higher pressure fuel pump. so lines are not the way to go. a guy i no has a supercharged 5.4 and he didnt need to change the lines just run a bigger pump. so i would save up for a programmer cause unless u got the big bucks to throw at it(supercharger) theres not much else u havent done.

I think you will be suprised by how much you get out of the Edge programmer. and with it set on lvl 3 and 91/93 oct and it will fly compared to just stock.

just the programmer dude. u dont need more fuel. plus a pump wont do anything unless u have bigger injectors and then u need a custom tune on ur c.p.u. and then u would need to feed your motor more air and thats where a supercharger or turbo setup come in.so what im saying is u have taken the right steps so far. the next step is a programmer.
