anyone have any tips on squeezing more power out of my 99 5.4?. budgets tight, and not loosening, any simple things anyone know? i polished my intake manifold that did wonders, any one else have any homade things, or cheap upgrades??

 

google gotts mod. and check out this intake mod. i did it and it helped with throttle res.

 

keep your eyes open on this and other forums for used tuners and what not alot of people sell good performance stuff for cheap but a tuner really wakes the old girl up believe me!!

 

i already have the cool air intake from afe, its the stage 2 with heat shield, thx though

 

o and i found something that might just help, tighted your throttle cable

 

Gasket match the intake manifold, the throttle body elbow and the intake ports of the heads. Junk yard electric fans.

That's a simple one.... Nitrous. Best BANG per buck around. Put about a 50-75 shot on it.

 

**** that are u crazy?? my engine has 165k on it and nos is for ****ty 4 banger cars, not true motor

 

NOS works. Although some of these dumbass movies that have come out in the past ( ie: The fast & the furious ) have made NOS seem silly!

Not sure how tight your budget is, but you could always get a programmer. They've gotten really affordable here lately.

 

that sounds more reasonable for the old girl, i was also looking at piggy back chips that come with programers, gotta do a bit more research on it first
