390hp the easy way

Saw this post on an online store's website for customer reviews of an aftermarket throttle body. I wish I had known about this before I got the blower!

5 out of 5 stars
Finally, my truck is the way it should have been stock. - 06/30/2006
Reviewer: Jeff Rowe Own this product - Yes
From Tucson, AZ - Vehicle: 2001 FORD F-150
I have installed the K&N intake, Edge reprogrammer, BBK1703 75mm throttle body, POWERAID Throttle Body Spacer, Flowmaster Exhaust and Flexalite Dual 15-inch Electric Puller Fan, 5500 CFM. With all installed, my stock horsepower was 260. Now with everything installed, the computer estimated increase is an additional 131.2 hp equalling 391.2 hp. My 2001 Ford F-150 King Ranch runs awsome now even with 108000 miles on it. It's like a brand new truck. Everything ran about $1800 and I installed everything.

What a tool

If he believes that, then I got some parts to sell him. Who remembers the "O-pipe"?

Man, 391hp is so close...
Two more throttle body spacers plus a tornado should put him over the magic 400hp mark while increasing gas mileage by 50%.

I suggest two spacers before the tornado, then one immediately after it.
This "feels fastest" according to the butt dyno results I've seen

I think chrome under the hood is good for another 50 HP.

I wouldn't recommend that setup without a good full synthetic high performance blinker fluid. I knew a guy who tried it once with regular crappy blinker fluid... it was the last mistake he ever made.

HI!... What he needs to try is those new carbon fiber synthetic muffler bearings that spin counter clockwise. They even come with the metric adjustable wrench so you can adjust them.
