I have a 1996 F150 supercab, 302; 5.0L. I would like to get some more power for towing and driving up mountain passes. I currently have MSD wires, large K&N airfilter, and dual exhaust after the Cadillac converter. Everything else is factory. Can I get some advise on what would help my application?
Should I add headers? True dual exhaust? Computer programmer/tuner? Timing belt? Fuel injectors cleaned? Any advise would be greatful.

 

gears, you probably have oversize tires making your current gearing even worse

 

The tires aren't that bad...31". What gearing should I go with?

 

my truck hauls a** and will eat the 31x10.50's on it alive. my truck has a hypertech chip. i notice my truck doesnt have to try as hard to get up to speed. i also have a k&n cold air intake that i noticed a little difference with. i gutted my front cat and put a high flow cat on it where my second cat use to be. i have a jasper stage 1 5.0 in my truck which just has a bigger cam and i noticed a huge difference with it. my motor has more torque than a chevy 350. and more horses. but not quite as much acceleration. yet.. i still want to put 4.10 gears on it but i dont want to do that just yet until after college. now if your truck is obd2 then you may not be able to do everything i did to mine. like the exhaust setup.
