Phily6:

You will hear a great deal of debate about which mods to do and what voids warrenties...especially since Ford can't really agree. Some people think that if you stick with Ford Racing items, you will help to not void the warrenty.

Here is my advice: stick with things that help air go in and air go out. No chips, pulleys or injectors if you are concerned about warrenties. If I were you, I would look into the new C&L Plenum ($200) and a larger 75 mm Throttle Body from BBK ($200). These two items can be added in an hour and removed quickly if needed (like before it goes into the shop). Most people tell me that these items will not void warrenty so long as they did not cause a failure. For example, if you put in a new TB and a month down the road your Throttle Position Sensor brakes they will probably blame you.

Those two items will add 25% air to your car and increase you HP to the wheels by 20. Then add the C&L Tru Flo Pipe and Cold Air Kit (About $400 for both) for another 15 - 20 to the rear whells. Thats 35 - 40 in all without any warrenty issues and you can do it yourself. I will even offer to help you over the phone.

Again, there will be other opions out there on this subject and they will all have their merrits. You can find what is best for you and what fits your budget.
