If you really want to wake it up, then get one of the tuners that can be loaded with custom tunes for your truck. Then air intake and exhaust system will top it off. Take a look in the computer chips/tuners area of this site for Troyer Performance. Get the number and call Mike. He will answer any questions you may have, and set you up with what you need to get that 4.6 running much stronger.

and hes got lower effective gear ratio with his smaller tires. hes running an estimated 3.90 gear ratio. And im on stock tire size with 3.55
I also had just filled up on gas, and had my 85-100lb tool box with me And of course, my heavy sub box with 2 12s its probably around 120lbs
