Default What to buy first

I was given $500 for Christmas and I don't know what performance item to buy first. Any suggestions? Tuner, Exhaust, Efans, pulleys!! I already have a K&N cold air intake.

Maybe add a rear anti-sway bar to the list?

I plan on adding one as most of my miles are on-road and adding sways (and a LOT of other bits) to my toy did make a big difference.
I wouldn't mind a bit less understeer with the truck.

Hey Jon,

If performance is what you are looking for, you should pair your cai with a tuner. Improves your cai's performance along with other parts of your truck. If you are looking to make your truck's sound to improve look into an exhaust. Choice is yours, but I'd go tuner, very big difference, and you will end up being very happy. Good luck

Of my mods, if I had to do it again, I'd prioritize it with a tuner, rear fogs wired to reverse, add a leaf, bed step, exhaust, a good dry filter, DBS bug shield (to keep the bugs off the radiator), the piston thing that lowers the tailgate w/o dropping... Rear camera... Really depends on your vision and needs. You'll be happy with a tuner.

Save some cash and have fun on a DIY bug screen. A few small bungees, gorilla tape, grommets, and 16"x32" piece of screen and you are good to go. Got these instructions from the "other" F150 forum:

Good luck and have fun.

Cat back dual Exhaust system and if you want longtube headers with high flow cats (headers an high flows are pricey),BBK throttle body, CAI and 5star tuner with custom tunes at same time to prevent running lean
