Just joined up on the forum, but I've been looking over it for a couple of weeks now.

What I got:
-GOTTS mod
-Silencer removal
-drop in k&n filter (I know its basic, I just wanted to list it.)
-front and rear bumper replacements from ranch hand

What I'm getting next paycheck
-Shift kit from Transgo
-SCT programmer from troyer performance
-Magnaflow Exhaust (getting for free dollars from my friend, he said it was too loud- lol!)

I got all the aesthetic stuff first paycheck so now Im wanting to go performance. Am I on the right track or any other suggestions?

 

forgot to list my info - sry - 2002 f150 4x4 crew cab 5.4L

 

Sounds like you are headed in the right direction.
Wait on the shift kit and see how you like the tuner first.
First you'll get canned tunes. Then you'll get the customs(note: sometimes they take some time to write). The exhaust can be done at anytime.

 

Would the canned tunes be good for my tranny like the shift kit would? Also, wouldn't I want to put the exhaust on first so I can tell troyer that I have exhaust for when they make my custom tunes?

Thanks for the reply

 

the canned tunes will definately help out your trans

post up some pics of your ride, i probably saw it around as i was up there for most of the fall 08 semester

 

good to know about the tranny - Ill put up some pics as soon as I get off. Nothin like gettin paid by the government to post on forums lol.

 

The exhuast, from cat back, does not require specific tuning. So that would not be a problem.

 

Oh, welcome to the site!

 

thanks! its saving me from spending alot of unnecessary money lol

 

May be saving you some right now, but just wait. It will cost you in the long run!

 

just uploaded some photos - but i was driving a german wimpy car back in fall 08

on another note: have yall had good experiences with shift kits at all? or does the tuner pretty much just eliminate the need for it?

 

They are not worth the effort to install versus a tuning device.
