Hey guys i logged on a few times but never really read any of the messages but i did today and registered. I am in need of some guidance. I have a 1998 F-150 XLT ext.cab with the 4.6 Triton motor. I want to give it more power and performance but dont even know where to start. It all started the other day when a 1997 Chevy 4.3 was in front of me at the lights...he took off and i tried to catch up and couldnt. I was very disturbed by this. I am not about to let a chevy do that to me again. The only mods I have done to my ride since ive had it is new exhaust and replaced the filter with a K & N filter. Just the filter though not the system. But if i could get some suggestions and links to where i can get or look at most of these mods I would appreciate it. Thanks guys.

 

Welcome into the fold schlappi. I'm thinking that a chip would really compliment the mods you already have. Other options would be under drive pulleys or an electric fan.

Good Luck.

 

What kind of vehicle was this 4.3 in? And do you know the what kind of rear end you have? (3.08's, 3.55's, etc.)

 

chip, fipk it never ends but the check book has to at one time or another. welcome

 

if you have a lot of money get a blower. youll never be beaten by a chevy again---most likely....

 

thanx guys.....and as far as the chevy i belive it was the Z71 model and my rear end is what ever stock rearend it was in 1998 for my model truck......

 

definitely get a chip. I had one in my 5.4 4x4 and what a difference

 

You sure your 4.6 is running up to par? You should have no problem with a 4.6 against a Full sized 4.3 like that.

 

Im pretty sure its runnin up to par...it has 40k miles on it......im plannin on changing the plug wires with some excel wires and changing the upstream O2 sensors as i was told that they should be changed soon.........if there is anything i should look for as far as not runnin right let me know....my first truck and wouldnt know edge wise........and hey KSchaper......where do ya live man im in antioch just north of ya?

 

CHIP IT CHIP IT CHIP IT CHIP IT CHIP IT CHIP IT CHIP IT!!!!!!!

I guess that sums it up.
