Hey guys, former gearhead here, but been out of the game for a few years. I used to have an 06 GTO, so I'm starting to miss having a bit of power.
Anyways I have a 03 f150, 5.4, 4x4, 100% stock except for some appearance stuff. This must change. Ultimately I would love to go with a blower or turbo setup, but my wallet will only allow basics for now.
Just trying to figure out what's worthwhile. Seems like the airbox mod is a no brainer. Longtubes are a no go; I'm in CA and I don't want to chance it. Will a simple muffler swap be worthwhile, or is a catback worth the extra money? Finally, is a programmer worth the money? I've read about the Edge programmer, but wouldn't mind being able to stick with 87 octane.
Thanks guys, hoping to make this truck something fun to drive.
