hey, im new to the forum been reading for a while thow and was jsut wondering what all of yall thought would be the best mod for more power on my truck.
ive had it for a year now my pop bought it for me its a 2004 fx4 screw had it a year now and was thinking wich is better a air intake or a tuner
any suggestions would be great
thanks and the forums tyte

 

Well first off, welcome to the sight. Second, if you dont post some pics soon, you will be badgered to death around here. Now to answer your question, Ive been thinking the same thing my self and decided to get the tuner first. Only because IMO..it is the best bang for the buck between the two. I dont have either one right now, but talkin to everyone here, it seems the tuner is the way to go, and then the AF1 intake. Look for the thread on that, RP has a great write up on it. Good luck with your mods and lets see those pictures..

BREW

 

1) Xcalibrator
2) Air Force 1
3) Exhaust

 

i already got a magnaflow exhaust and getting either of them worries me cause i dont wanna screw it up but damn i want more power
lol

still thanks allot
i was thinkin air force andx cal but thats allot of cash

o well just u think its worth it???

 

Definately worth it, you'll be thanking us later.

 

hey thumper dude do u have any mods???

thats a nice truck

im 16 and am selling my race ready 4 wheeler to pay for mods since i ate it an got hurt so i cant race anymore lol so after i get those im thinking a lift and rims

but i was just wundering if u had anyhting done to ur truck its allot like mine spet mine is fx4

 

Im 16 too. I broke my back and my foot and selling my bikes to get a lift and wheels/tires, and some other stuff. As of right now I just have a 2.5" leveling kit, tint, new headunit, G.A.P. grille, and chrome door handles.

 

I know your fear....

I had a 2001 King Ranch that I had modded on the exterior but, absolutely no mods in the way of performance.

Now, with my 05' KR, I've decided I'm going to try to get a mix of both 'appearance mods' and 'performance mods'.

Thus far I've added (performance):

1. XCalibrator
2. Magnaflow SISO 16612
3. Air Force One Intake

Easily, the best bang for your buck here is the XCalibrator from Troyer Performance. My truck turned into a different beast after installation. Second in line, like Thump mentioned, is my AF1. It's a tremendous intake....

Now that I've modded on the performance side, I'm kicking myself for not having done it to my old 5.4 Triton on my old 01'. I never knew driving a truck could be this much fun...

best bang for the buck is gears.

most will say the chip, but once you factor in the cost of 93 octane fuel over a few years, the gears end up being cheaper.

 

thanls allot for all ur help

o and ya i have changed the outside adding running boards and a westin bulkl bar with piaa off road lights but righ tnow they look a lil off since i dont have any lift
Yet lol


ill have some pics soon thanks again for the help

 

The Xcalibrator with the Troyer Performance custom tunes is my 1st pick for "bang for the buck". Second for me would be the Magnaflow exhaust because I don't have the AF1 intake yet and can't compare the two. Third is a draw between Efans and under drive pulleys although the pullies are cheaper.

 

Gotta agree with the Xcalibrator. Really wakes these trucks up.
