More Low End Power
I have a 97 f150 xlt 5.4l v8 with the 3.55 limited slip gears. what can i do to gain more low end power? Im building a prerunner out of it and could use some inexpensive low end torque. I already have long tube headers w/ true dual high flow cats and flowmaster super 40s and intake. im leaning away from chips and tuning

GEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!! probably 4.10's or 4.56's depending on tire size
why are you afraid of the tuning????, an off orad tune would help you out a bit also

VMP tuning is $400 with the xcal.
PHP is around $450 i think, but you get a screen.
dont go with an edge, superchips, diablo, etc. custom tuning is a completely different category of tuning and 100x's better.
a way to keep it cheaper buy a used xcal (can pick them up for around $150-$170, then spend the $50 on 1 tune so your only in $220ish bucks at that point, and the improvement will be incredible.
the tune will be written for any mods you have to help maximize all possible gains.

Hey guys, I've got a 97 with the 5.7L and the 9.75 rear. I've already changed my gears to 4.11, havent gotten my tru trac yet, But i've just recently started looking into custom tunning her. My problem im running into is every website i go to and try to search my year, They got nothing. It's always just the 99's and up, Does anyone know of a trustworthy website i can order from? Or even a shop i can order and have it shipped from? Thanks guys!

for starters, I'd swap back to a Ford motor...
it's gonna be hard to find a tuner who can tune your abortion / truck
I've got a K&N 77, Straight piped after cats back untill i get my flowmaster force 2 set up, and i got a BBK underdrive kit but havent installed that yet either. But i have alot of plans on diffrent mods like JBA headers. I have Yukon 4.11's
