i'd love to, but no one makes anthing for an 06 model 4.6.... and i've heard that the xcal2 is still way better than the edge on a custom tune, i mean, i love the edge, but i'm getting that really bad lean condition, so bad that i even get a lean missfire at times... the only headers are JBA's and their shortys, not worth the money... i dont know if the 2v mustang cams will work with the new engines, not sending the money to find out... so thats why i'm really looking for serious input... almost thinking of juicing it??? NX makes a fly by wire kit

If I'm reading you sig right. That dose say 4.30 gears?
I was going to suggest a gear swap.
Looks like you have about everything as far as I can tell.

The 06 4.6 is a 3V correct?
If it was a 2V,,I have a set of heads and cams I'm getting ready to sell.

Otherwise keep saving your money...Someone will come up with a blower kit to fit it sometime.

Dynatech makes a set of long tube headers.

I would suggest that you call Danny@ Swansons or Greg@ Racers Edge for a new tuner, custom tune and dyno package appointment.

I don't think Dynatech makes long tubes for the 4.6

I have a set of Patriot stage 2 ported and polished heads with stage 2 billet aluminum cams. On my truck for 5000 miles. Only reason I'm selling them is it was the same price to have them ported out to stage 3 as it was to start with my old stock heads. So I sent in my original heads to have done.
