I had to upgrade my edge evolution so I would stop running lean. I also run 35" tires. Should I change my gears from 3.73 to 4.10? That is what the new Raptors have w/ the 35" inch tires. Also, is there anything else I can do for better performance? How about a supercharger? Worth the money? Again, thanks to those who reply.  |
Very nice set up. You are obviously aware of the lean condition so no point in beating a dead horse right?
Since you were asking about the gotts I'll say stick with the AFE if you like the open filter. I had an open filter for a while and I liked the sound but I didn't like the high IATs and ended up going back to my gotts modded intake. The only time I go back is if I'll be showing off my mostly stock engine bay. If yours is an open filter I recommend you make something to block hot engine air from getting sucked in. But that is only if you do quite a bit of stop and go driving. If you do mostly highway driving then it doesn't matter.
4.10 gears would help your truck but if you feel the 3.73 gears are doing well enough then I'd leave it.
A supercharger would probably help improve performance
Depends on how much you value power. It'll give you more gains than all those mods put together but obviously it has a hefty price. I've only looked at superchargers, never used one so I can't say. Other than that you have to realize you've only got so much engine in a very heavy vehicle. Your tires definitely aren't helping.
