4.6 HP upgrades/mods

Anyone know of some cheap upgrades/mods that could get me a bit more power.
(i'm only 16 so im on quite a low budget.)

I just put on a dual exhaust w/ flowmasters the other day and they give it a little big more pickup but ide like to get a little more power out of it without blowin a hole in my wallet.
any suggestions

best bang for the buck on the 4.6 seems to be the chip... well one of the best.

2 routes, an actual chip or a tuner.
people like superchips.com
i would say do a search but that will give u tons of threads to look thru.

Either an XCal2 tuned by Mike Troyer or an Edge Evolution (which I have and love). Also, look into getting some type of intake.

Exclamation Another tip

Don't go by the prices on the Troyer web site, they are retail list price. Call Mike to get better price and alot more Tech info about your truck. Please be patient and you will come out way ahead.

Well I have 2 pickups with 4.6s and used the superchips on both, great product I must say, you would get more power out of your though seeing as you have a PI. Both of mine are non PI s. Heard pretty good things from Diablosport as well, and even better things from SCT, which is what I'm getting now. All up to you
