A tune with a cai and muffler out will get you there. Use the money you save on a tranny cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replaced the turbo filter screen and serviced the tranny and diff. I bought it from a big ford dealer and they serviced it just before I picked it up last Wednesday.

kartman Member 88 Member For: 15y 5m 23d Posted 13/12/10 10:31 AM Share Posted 13/12/10 10:31 AM wouldnt put a generic tune on my car, it was designed for another car, no cars are the same might hurt some components of your car, get custom tune !Yey, that's the truth. Iv'e seen and retuned a number of generic tunes that have been waaaay to lean and some with detonation that is scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got just over 250rwkw with tune only... no other mods accept K & N and F6 lower intake. You will be looking at around $900 fitted for valve springs so unless you need them for that money you could pay for the custom tune! The tuner will know pretty quick if they aren't up to the task when tuning so just make the call then. My BA's got stock valve springs... they were failing at 300rwkw so power was pulled back a bit until my funds allow to upgrade them and then will get the touch up tune.

Also, should this cooler run in series with the current cooler or bypass the current set up?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bypass the current setup as it can cause transmission failures down the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll get you good power but leaveyou wanting more.Siemens 60lb or Bosch 968s, but your stock injectors are good for 250 too.

Your mind will change hundreds of times.Me spend what money you have now on sway bars and brakes, do eprformance mods all in one go as money frees up.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
