New guy here.....

Evening everyone,

New here. For the last year and a half I've been driving an '04 SVT Cobra. She was my baby. Blk convertible modded to near 460 HP. My wife had been driving my 2002 F150 Lariat FX4 extended cab.

Shes pregnant, and I get my 3 kids every other weekend. So, I needed something with a 3rd row. The only senseable thing to do was trade my Cobra in for a 3rd row vehicle. I got an 03 Expedition with all the bells n whisltes. There is not another option available on that truck. I like it, but its not my Cobra.


Anywho, I am now back into my F150 and the wife is driving the Expedition. Currently the only other thing I have on the truck is a Flowmaster exhaust with dual tips. I am looking to increase my HP since I will be driving this for atleast another 2 years. ( I do plan on buying a project Mustang, to make a 600HP daily driver), but until then I am looking to get a bit more HP outta my pick-up.

I know the obvious is intake and exhaust. I'll probably be going with the Mac Performance exhaust to start. But, I havent really looked around for air intakes for this truck.

Any suggestions, and any other suggestion to more bolt-on options to help me out?

Thanks a bunch and I look forward to talking more to you all,


Steve

NICE rides there man! I used to live in LA, on the Westbank of the river, in Harvey. Those buildings look familiar. You live on the Westbank?

We lived in Harvey for several months back in 1983 when my hubby was stationed at the Coast Guard Radio Station in Belle Chasse. We rented a townhouse in Harvey while we were waiting to get into a Coast Guard leased house. We eventually moved to Belle Chasse for the remainder of our stay there.

Welcome!

Bit of advice, the way you've started by asking what upgrades to buy and all. Not wise, we could have you flat broke in 1/2 a day.

First thing I would do before exhaust, before everything would be a tuner.
Lots of people here have had great success and show more improvement with a Troyer custom tune. That's first on my list after I get it dynoed for a base line.
