Hey Mike I Need Your Help
Hey Mike I have been told to come talk to you about fixing my truck. I have a 1999 F-150 4.6L and it has 141,000 miles and it needs help with power and gas mileage. I was thinking about exhaust chip and FIPK but I wanted to see what you think will be beneficial to my engine. I also heard something about an ignition upgrade, could you possibly explain a little about that? Thanks a ton for any help and info you can give

OR, just use the search option at the top of the page, perhaps look for Mike Troyer and I'm sure any question you could possibly imagine/ask has already been asked and answered more than once.
I have a Fipkit and exhaust and they improved my MPG (no matter how I drive) from 11.7 to 13.6 - 14.2 mpg. So that's that for you. The chip might help you a bit more with MPG and performance.
IF i were you, i would go with both chip and intake, but Get exhuast, Fipkit, THEN Chip for best results.
good luck

remember, you don't have a race car there, not many of us do, so any performance isn't going to compare to a supercharger. Don't set your expectations too high and that way you will be pleasantly surprised.
I notice NO difference in seat of the pants performance with my fipkit and exhuast, just slower that it is slower at WOT going 75+ mph. Yes, slower, HOWEVER, the sound of exhuast is awsome, the feel of the Navigator is better, MPG is better and it's a hell of a lot funner to drive.
For one, it doesn't feel restricted and by no means do I regret the 500 $ spent on these 2 bolt ons.
