[QUOTE="1Kona_Venom, post: 16228242, member: 101429"] FWIW, I spoke to Jim Bell once, and he said, "To avoid the laginess of the blower (pump gas) stick with the 2.8, not the 3.2." That was a year ago. Key problem with forums, is all the convoluted information from every corner, Ie, comparisons from built motors to altitudes, when trying to decide. I had the same starting platform as you 12 months ago. Since I have an '11 w/ a stock 5.4, here is what you can expect from a Gen2R 2.5" upper setup [b]ON PUMP 93 OCTANE. [/b] I would recommend reaching out to [USER=36794]@VNMOUS1[/USER] There are everyday items that are posted in the classifieds you can pick up. Part of the fun for me is finding a good deal and avoid brand new pricing. The classifieds and holiday sales are beneficial.
