Post Moorree Power!

Well ive sat around thinking im happy with how the truck is and i have it exactly how i want it. But, now im bored and want to go spend some money. Im looking into some power, maybe a throttle body spacer, some kind of programmer, or any other suggestions. im handy to some degree under the hood so nothing too hard. any recommendations?

Skip the throttle body spacer unless you are gonna add a NOS port.

- Hypotek throttle body
- electric fan
- HO cams
- Superchips or SCT
- weight reduction
- change axle gears
- shift kit

do not waste your money on a spacer. You need to get superchips. Or if you have tons to spend, get HO cams, SCT w/custom hemifever tune, Efan, 180 t-stat,etc....

Hipotek throttle body, just put mine on and the response is good. Ordered a sonnex and will eventually get a super chip. Really turned this HO V8 loose. Makes me wonder if the 70mm TB would of been better? My plan was start with the cheap changes and increase til I get where I want.
