I know Mike is the best (he supercharged my Expy.) but that drive all the way to Covington can be a bear if you have to do it multiple times. I think I am going to give this local shop (Dynotuned) a try. They come highly recommended by a couple friends and are only 10 miles away. I know I will probably be shooting myself for not going to Mike.

If you dont mind me asking, why the new motor. I am staring to look around for an L and Im wondering if this occurs often?

The motor had a valve leaking down compression and the guy I bought the truck from had more money than he knew what to do with so he had Ford replace the entire motor. I have the paperwork from the dealership explaining the diagnosis and motor replacement along with the warranty.

IMO, you should get a FTVB first, then a 4# or 6# lower. A CAI and exhaust is only optional.

Use these to hold you off until you are able to afford either a whipple/kenne bell.
