I'm looking to add more power to my truck. I have done an intake, cat-back exhaust, and a hypertech programmer which is being replaced by an SCT and custom tunes that I've already ordered. I have a 6" lift and 35" tires, which have slowed me down a bit.

I'm waiting for someone to come out with longtube headers those are on my list already.


What other mods can I do under $1000, I'm not interested in forced induction. I've hear about e-fans but is there really power to be gained by doing them?

 

I can tell you people will need some info on your truck before they can help.

 

4.56 gears would go nicely with those 35" tires.

 

Need to know what engine you have.

- You've already made the right choice in getting a custom tuned SCT programmer.
- Simple cat-back exhausts do nothing in terms of power. They're purely for sound.
- LT headers along with a full true dual exhaust will increase power, but can also shift the powerband that is undesirable for a truck.
- Gears will be the most effective route if you don't want to go for forced induction, but it's going to cost more than $1000 to regear both axles with quality parts.

 

Thought the truck info was showing up in the header, it's a 2011 FX4 5.0

What is a good company to get gears through? Is there a chart that will give me an idea what the different ratio gears will do for performance?

 

Gears......4.56

 

Made the decision to go with 4.56 gears, told the shop to get some coming. Hopefully they will be in by the end of next week.

 

From what I hear you will be amazed after the new gears. Enjoy the new truck!

 

What it wind up costing ya? And congrats!!

 

Found out the only company that makes gears for the 2011 is ford and they only go as low as 4.10. Looks like I'm going to be waiting a while to do the gear swap........

 

Waiting a while will make you appreciate the 4.56s even more

 

Regear to 4.56. Especially with thos 35s. U will gain so much power back. Its a bit more than ur posted range but deff the best bang for ur buck

 

Gears would already be done except I was told to expect to wait 1-3 years before someone makes them...
