Congrats you lucky SOB! :rolling: i would add a bit more to it and replace the blower with a Whipple. But, if not you can get all sorts of goodies. Get a programmer, air intake and pullies and you'll be smiling. :banana: congrats again!!

I would go to RPM Outlet.com 99-04 SVT LIGHTNING AND 02-03 HARLEY DAVIDSON F-150 Performance Parts - RPM Outlet and get the "e kit" package. Has a lot of bolt ons good for about 135 hp for 1100. If you wanna spend it all, i would get some traction stuff like new shocks and traction bars. New innercooler the new resivor is always a plus :)

Big mistake. Look up RPM outlet in the search, horrible customer service, money stolen etc.
Better to go with a different vendor.

You can run that complete kit just as it is with the tune provided no problem and daily the crap out of it. And at that killer price... :dw:

I wouldn't bother with the full exhaust. Everybody's recommendations are good.
If you do not want to put the cahs out for a whipple, just pulley it, tune, catback and maybe some high flow cats. It only cost 400 bucks including labour for my 2 high flow cats installed. So that, plus the pulley, tune, CAI would edge you closer to your limit with some to spare.

I have had nothing but good luck with rmp outlet. But anyway i would get most of the stuff in the power pack. Mabey an eaton port if you can have it down for a bit.

- 4# lower since you want it conservative
- Tune for the 4# lower
- MAF Extender (SCT BA2600 or something similar)

+1 on the "stay away from RPMOutlet"... I personally have had good luck too, but considering what others on here have gone through I will not take any chances in the future. Also, SKIP the Eaton port... some of the biggest waste of money I have ever spent... wish I just went Whipple from the beginning. You can definitely by these blowers cheaper now, but dont forget pumps and injectors, and they're not exactly cheap either.... Probably for around $3500 you can get yourself set-up with a Whipple 2.3 kit which is COMPLETELY worth it IMO, but being its your DD, I would put that 2gs towards paying it off or like someone said above, get yourself a little beater to DD so you can save some life on the L. Pretty badass to win that money on a scratch off though!!!:rockon:

Get a beater car, then pay it off. Dont start throwing mods at it if you cannot afford to go built.

I agree with Fleeman however the best bag for the buck i did to my truck was a valvebody in the tranny. Other than that go find a sweet escort gt

If it is not paid off yet, then put the money towards the truck and quit wasting money on interest. If it is paid for then get a bigger blower.
