    Supercharger Question

    my Vortec gives great power but the need for premium fuel makes it very expensive to drive much, not to mention my heavy foot makes it worse. I don't think I'd do it differently if I could go back in time though, too much fun.

    0-60 time

    5.9, you wouldn't happen to be in NC would you? If so I'd like to personally see how fast you are. What are your specs, other than the power ratings you've already given? I'm not going to say he's exaggerating but for Alec to beat the cars he listed seems pretty incredible. Several factors...

    On my way to the Supercharger!

    oops I got the sizes for the MAS wrong in my above post but the increase was 20mm over stock anyway

    On my way to the Supercharger!

    Alec... BBK should supply you with everything you need to install their product properly. If they don't supply you with a aux fuel pump then either the chip compensates(by possibly increasing the injector dwell time, whatever) or they want you to spend extra money. I can't say for the BBK but...

    Why drill the airbox when you can just......

    I've been using that type of setup for almost 2 years now. No tape or ties just silicone it into the upper half and be rid of the lower. I was also the one who originally suggested the "hole" mod, this was to S. Matsushige long, long ago.

    "Don't clean the thottle body"??

    I agree... if the insides are black then it's either gone or not working. I used carb cleaner on mine and have had no problems at all(on my stock one).

    Gearing Question

    Kris think about 4.56's... I went from 3.55's to 4.10's and wish I would've gone with 4.56's because I plan on running 33's when I wear out my 31's. The 4.10's are great for 31's but... sometimes excess is best put the limits to the test!

    MAS

    A quicker solution is to use a small flat blade screwdriver to pop the center post off.

    edlebrocks for 19.99 each really

    I put a set of the VST's on a Ranger... and loved them so naturally I tried them as an option to the Eddy's. But, on the Explorer they didn't work well at all. So I bought the IAS' and there was a world of difference.

    WTF is the dif between new sohc v6 4.0 and the new v8 5.0?

    About 10 more HP(V8) and 5 mpg less(V8) I'd get the V6

    My Newest Mod

    You're right but anyone with ANY knowledge of off-roading would get it or at least have an idea just like the correlation between pony cars and ASC/McLaren.

    My Newest Mod

    I think individuality is great everyone has their own way of making their vehicles "theirs". I think it was a good idea, keep it. Ford didn't make Saleen, Steeda, Roush vehicles either but you see them around. PS- I have custom Cobra emblems on my '91 because I like Cobra's(the reptile and...

    Transmission Problem

    I'm not sure about '97 models but... if it has a Throttle valve cable then check/adjust it. Mine is adjustable on the driver's side at the firewall.

    BBK Supercharger exsits!

    I'll believe it when someone actually has one in their hands. I had much faster delivery time from TruckPerformance than 2 weeks.

    Who, if anyone has the Jacob's DIS system?

    how do you like it, what improvements, etc...

    BBK Super Charger

    I haven't been curious enough to call Truck performance but their site also says "2-3 hours" for the install. That sounds really low to me considering the fact that you have to remove the intake manifold, etc...

    Two Mufflers?!?!

    It is indeed a resonator... every one I've looked under had the same basic setup as if the 30"x 8" muffler wasn't enough!! The exhaust from the cat back weighs alot, it surprised me when I removed mine and installed the Flowmaster. Resonators are supposed to improve tonal quality and remove...

    BBK Super Charger

    Nope, it's still not out yet... It's been "coming out in a few weeks" for over 2 years now. Everything you need comes with the kits(at least Vortech), larger TB's and MAS's will help but aren't necessary.

    Bilstein vs. Edelbrock

    That would be cool... speaking of meeting, I unfortunately had to miss the last "get together" that was planned for Uwharrie National Forest(only about 1.5 hours from my house) but hopefully there will be another. Life as a single dad is comprised of very little free time : )

    Really important question!

    I like the white out... but truck color can make a difference. before you have them mounted put 2 of them against the tires/wheels on there now and step back to see how each side looks.

    We're in NC... always have been, always will be. (Myself that is)

    Bilstein vs. Edelbrock

    OH, got it now I have a friend who's a Disco nut, he owns 3 and is wanting more to start his own driving school. 1 of his current ones is the Camel Trophy Ed., he's got the fever bad!

    Bilstein vs. Edelbrock

    How does the 110 differ from the 90 available here? .
