SOHC or OHV? are the TBs the same? Maybe the stock SOHC was 65 and the performance one was 70 or 75... cant remember no more!

Look forward to this answer, now I want to see what I can get

Think that and the spacer would be a nice combo? The spacer alone helped the rado some, not a lot, but noticeable low end.

IMO a spacer wouldnt do a whole lot since youve got a CAI and long as its actually taking in cold air (try to build a box around it) not like the air would have much more chance to cool before it goes into the runners. but thats JMO, this one im nto super sure about. IMO th ebiggest use for a spacer is for intake runners when you have metal head and metal runner the SOHC is plastic so its got buffer

Yea, same here. It may have been 75. It's OHV, but not much stock.

a big power robber I think is also the fan if you can do an E fan I thikn youd notice a difference, since on f250 it makes big diffy, so i assume X wouldnt be super different.

Interesting, I mean the K&N I think came with a box, though I'm not sure how well it works. Rather not kill myself trying to make one like I've seen done at least once before, but will if needed.

 

[Fix4Dirt]

maybe underdrive pullies? the problem with the SOHC is bolt ons wont do as much as other engines since its already well tuned and done, only little changes can be made... but by that point hp/$ is much better with forced induction prolly.

if it takes in COLD air a CAi is good, but ive seen some buddies have installed and im like I swear thats a HAI not a CAI

That's an idea, wanted to see about doing the radiator, adding a separate tranny cooler, new condenser and such. So maybe I'll try an e fan? Know I found an, I believe, aluminum radiator that I liked!

and then theres always 410 or whatever the one is abvoe that 456? gears

I used this for an upgraded radiator as well.

The one in the rado is just an Hai too, but it looks good so i don't care, may double stack filters lmao

How complicated to install?

Make sure its a 2 row! Aux tranny cooler and i say add an inline filter!!! Can never pamper a tranny to much! I know especially when you run it hard (ie towing up grades) you can feel the fan rob power (since when i climb it when im not pushing it its got mo pawa!)

 

[Fix4Dirt]

Nwo what about the good ole' lid flip? That's the big power adder (i kid)

Think it was a 2 row, but I'd have to go look. Oh a 20k or a 44k like what's going in the rado is probably what I'll use for the tranny, go big or go home lmao

Drop it in.
I didn't use the trans taps, as I run a separate fan cooled unit.

 

[DemonMudder]

That was the first thing I did lmao
Now it's just the stock housing, cut the walls off to be just a flat bottom that allows the filter to he exposed fully. So, same basic idea, just less wall restrictions, plus a fancy k&n filter and topper lmao

That's going to be my plan, rather the tranny be cooled separately. But sweet, thanks!!

5:13's !

 

[DemonMudder]

Too big for me lmao
I do want to maybe throw a 4.10 in though, if I can find a good deal on gears and limited slips
