Hey guys, Just bought a 05 F150 screw 4x4. I can tell you anything you need to know on a jet engine but working on cars is foreign to me. I am ready to upgrade the truck, already added a leveling kit, now i want to add performance parts. I want a CAI but was told to look into PHP. Where do i start?

Where in Colorado? and start with a programmer, they are flexible and as you upgrade your truck you can change your tuning to reflect what you need the computer to think.
A lot of performance parts are snake oil, exhausts are mainly for sound, but if done right they can add some performance. Do the Gotts mod, it will help with a little power and mileage.
What else are you looking for performance wise?

Im in Aurora. I want to get the most out of the truck without pushing it to hard. Whats the gotts mod? Should i directly buy the edge from PHP? I was told the 05 runs pretty lean from the factory and installing a CAI would make it run even leaner. I am looking at a fm supper 44, thoughts?

I was in the springs for a few years, the Gotts mod is an intake modification that is better or equal to most CAI's out there. it does the same without the lean issue by keeping most of the stock intake intact. I had an 05 as well, it was a great truck, and I thought the bigger lean issues were with the 04's... I've not heard about that exhaust and I have never looked into them so I can't say much, I am sure it will be fine if you like the sound it makes.

Go to the library section on here, there should be a monster thread about the Gotts mod.

I ran the FM 40 and liked it except for how loud it was. I ended up going back to stock muffler but cut it to dump after the axle. That gave me the look and tone I wanted.

OK so i just bought the gryphon. I didn't get customer tunes. If i do the gotts mod in-between using the gryphon and ordering the tunes. do i need to let them know. i already filled out the ordering sheet for the gryphon saying no to intake mods, but am going to do the gotts mod.

You will not need custom tunes with the gotts mod and if you didn't get custom tunes then they don't need to know anything about the truck until you order custom tunes
