TB spacer imo is a gimmick item.

gears will give ya some pep back, you went with 315's and you plan on staying with that size tire?

i think a lot of people run 4.56's with a 315/35" tire...
im running 4.88's and intend on running a 38" tire.

pretty basic, straightforward install. arent they really only needed for turbo or supercharged applications. dont think you really need them unless youre going to put more air into the engine.

I agree with what has been said by the members.I have a 2002 Ford F150E/C stage2 Roush.It came with a 5.4 with Roush cold air intake and Roush cat back exhaust.The first improvement was a set of JBA stainless shorty headers,next was a superchips programer This really woke up the truck.After all this I installed a Vortech blower.Now the fun begins I liked what the blower did but i had to reset my ecm back to stock so vortech could put there program in it.Do not like thier program so I called Troyer Performance and mike and I set up a program for the truck(waiting for it to arrive).Do not install any hiflow injectors unless you are going to turbo or supercharge.If you are looking for nice gains go with what has been suggested you won't be dissapointed.Good luck. PS.I have my superchip programer forsale
