$1000 to spend on mods (5.0)

[jah81592]

Ask jah81592 about an xcal2.
I wouldn't go spending money to increase gas mileage though. Spending $130 on an intake for maybe a .5 mpg gain doesn't make sense unless you're just doing it to save the environment. It will take a LONG time of .5mpg gain to get $130 in savings.
As for the transfer case swap, I wouldn't bother unless your goal is to have selectable 4x4. I actually really like the AWD with the 5.0L as a daily driver, not the best offroad. I wouldn't imagine seeing much mpg increase since, like already mentioned, the front axle is spinning all the time.
I would probably add a good catback and a tuner. Use the rest of the money to flush the axles and gearboxes with new synthetic oil or something.

I agree, thanks for the recommendation too!

Wow, what a sh!tty attitude. The guy that makes the TM's isn't a big business and developed them for a very small clientelle, you should thank him, not talk about ripping off his work.

Yep, it is hard for a small business to survive. Lets support these guys instead of copying them.
