I will probalby be asking a lot of question in the following week please don't take offense to these but I want to make this truck bad ***. This thing hauls I never expected to to throw me in my seat the way it does, first round of mods

6 lb. lower
QMP diablo chip
custom 14 inch air intake
Denso plugs

should I get IT20 or It22 any info is greatly appericated, and man you guys are right these trucks are badass, first kill a 96 LT1 camaro more to come.

 

Congrats on your new truck!!!

A little advice...... You may want to wait until spring to start with the mods, since the weather is cold. If you do decide to Mod now make sure that your chip is tuned for cold weather. If it is not you may run too lean and burn your engine up really quick. Check out the supportting vendors section, you may want to e-mail one to find out what plugs to use with a 6# pulley. Good Luck

 

congrats on the truck!!!

post pics and build # when you get a chance, and then join the HD registery (www.svtregistry.com/harley-davidson)

congrats!

 

Nice choice in truck! Congradulations....I'm new here myself and I've already asked enough questions for me and ten others. lol
Do you ride too?

 

Congratulations on the purchase. The fun will never stop

 

Congrats haveight!

I noticed that you will be using a Diablo chip from QMP; who is QMP? Some of the guys here have had unfortunate results from "unknown" Diablo tuners. Be very careful on who you choose to tune your new baby.

 

Sweet truck.

You will have a blast with that thing. Good luck with the mods.

 

Welcome to the group! Some good advice on here... some entertaining hot air too .
Advice? Save your $200 or so for the CAI and get a Factory Tech valve body with it. Just get a K&N and do the airbox mod... I run IT-22's (I think... everything is written down at work), work great. Pulled several out the other day after 8000 miles of 13+ lbs of boost, multiple trips towing 5000-8000 lbs, 15 or so passes at the strip--looked like new .

 

Not to sound dumb (I'm still a newbie), but what is a factory tech valve body? How much is it and what does it do? TIA.

 

From the factory, after a couple of hard runs with full throttle upshifts the shifts become... "sluggish". Not good if you've got mods (i.e.--more boost). The Factory Tech valve body firms up the shifts and speeds them up dramatically. Faster, firmer shifts mean less heat in the tranny which means longer life. Absolutely love mine... about $200 from Lightning Force Performance. Install it with a new 4X4 trans pan (holds more fluid and has a drain plug) F81Z-7A194-BA (about $35 at your local Ford parts counter), about 8 qts of Mercon with a Deutch TF325 filter from Autozone (about a third the price of the Ford filter and just as good).
You won't regret it...
You can firm up and speed up the shifts with a computer chip or line valve mod... my advice is to have them leave the transmission tuning alone and do it with the valve body--the chips and line mod do it by significantly raising line pressure... can create some problems.

 

Thanks for the info Slingshot, but is this something that is easily done from someone that knows nothing about trannies? Or something the dealership could do for a small fee? Do have a writeup of this mod? Thanks in adavnce.

 

HarleyScrew, look up the member "Factory_Tech"s profile and drop him an email. he can help you out

 

Hey guys thanks for the info my # 01894 that s what the badge in the truck says. I made my intake for like $60 including the filter I will have dyno results shortly. and pics of my new baby. QMP is also known as LS1 motorsports, he is a cool guy in southern IN, I don't want to violate any posting rules so I won't say anymore about him or his company he is helping to tune my 03 as he has one 2

 

Congrats on the HD, I know you will love it. I sure do mine..
