Post I have been Slacking....

I have had my L for over a month and only have 2" shackles in. So here is the list of stuff i need to get done pronto, any help with item #'s or where to get will be much appreciated. I know there are tons of posts here on this stuff but i like current advice =).

Snuglid lopro (I like RobG's Lid to wish i knew which ******* that is)
Bedrug
Billet grill/airdam (I think i want a trendz)
Carbon Fiber Dash Kit (big nice looking set)
Roll pan, molded corners
Chip/filer/Whats the 80 mm Thingy(i know i am sort of a high performance newb), Torque converter, lots of go fast stuff i need =).
Clear tail lights with the red in em( i think they are apc's)
hmmm what else
Oh yeah i want some 20's perhaps =p
I would love Airbags if anyone has done them on a L.
Waiting to be able to order my empeg player before i do my stereo.
Let me know things i missed on my list i have some cash to spend so help me and i will promise to send pics =).

Thanks
Jason

Question

If I go with a shift kit after I've already installed a chip, should I then have my chip reprogrammed to lower the line pressure? TIA

Ash,
Go with either the Level 10 or the TRANGO, both are good quality kits. I basically went with Level 10 because PSP deals with quality. Ever have questions feel free to e-mail me at Spiro99SVT@aol.com.

Reality1,
Hey Jim, dont you know you can get in trouble if you agree with a greek... lol


Speed,
If you think you'll need more firness after the shift-kit, you could always use the chip to firm them up more.

Spiro....Thanks for the response and I think you told me what I needed to know....I was just wondering if the line pressure would get too high if you ran a chip that was already programmed for higher pressure along with a shift kit.

speed,

I have the 'standard' PSP chip and a level 10 shift kit. The shifts are PERFECT for me, see also: https://www.f150online.com/f150board...ML/004257.html

Later,
Jake...

After having my L for one year and no mods here is my plan.

1. MT E.T. Streets
2. 50% 104 OCTANE (when at the strip)
3. PRO-M MAF 80 (comes with filter)
4. PSP chip
5. gears (maybe)
I can get away with all the above and not void 100.000 mile warranty. The shift kit is iffy on the warranty.

Ash,
I'm actually surprised that no one responded to this. If I were to do it all over again...from a performance standpoint. I would go with..in order
Shift-kit
M.T. Et's
Air-kit
chip
gears
Dont think I would waste the money on a exhaust system, dont get me wrong I love my BASSANI,wouldn't trade it for another, just not worth the money. That is until the boost comes up Then the exhuast will come into play...big time... Well, there you have it. If you have a ton of money to waste I would take this route. IMO Hope that was helpful..
