Upgrade my fathers F150

Torinalth · 05-17-2002, 01:36 AM

my dad has a F150 (1998 with the triton V8) and he is going through his mid life crisis, so we have started working on our vehicles together. well, he is holding off till he buys his vette, or his T-bird, and cant work on my RSX since I'm selling it, so it leaves the F-150. think we should turn it into a high rise Beast or what? already did running boards and 2 stage flows, but are waiting for the next step. suggestions?

Is it 4x4, 4x2 ext cab, etc.? What's he wanting to do with the truck? What motor? Details.....

Let me know a little more about the truck and we can go from there. Also a great site to check into is www.f150online.com/

he has the 4.6L triton V8, it is a 4x2 extended cab with the third door, it is a 1998. great truck for the most part.

Well he could definitely supercharge it. Some good ones would be Vortech, Procharger, and Kenne Bell (screw type). If not a blower then underdrive pullies, electric fans (reduction in parasitic hp loss), headers with custom true dual exhaust or larger single exhaust, possibly a computer chip, shift kit, and K&N filter. You could always use Nitrous Oxide as well.

As far as looks I'd lower it a bit. Probably about a 3/4 drop and some Billstein shocks and some better looking wheels (at least 17s if not 18s and there's even 20s).

Just whatever floats your boat but as far as performance mods the above in the first paragraph is all I can think of right now.
