. You'll have to find a local dealer and ask them. Just look up STS, they have an F150 package and a dealer list.

I would look into new gears and maybe the e-fans and under drive pulleys. Much cheaper and they help a bit.

I've heard the sts system sucks up water, would creating some sort of cover help with this? I get concerned with a rear mount exhaust that cost 2 grand sucking up water and ruining my 42k truck

just my 2 cents

Also look into 4.56 gears, more beneficial than going from 3.73-4.10

I personally haven't heard of that happening but you are definitely right. I would spend an extra $50 for some PVC pipe and run it into the engine bay or to any area that is higher up.

I must gotten a price for the twin turbo F150 kit.

hampsterzone - Since your engine is not being fueled by a carburetor, the throttle body spacer is better used as a doorstop. (Or perhaps you could get someone to buy it from you and put the cash toward new gears which WOULD provide a benefit.)

Haha, a door stop? It has been installed a long time ago. LOL! Back before I knew much of anything. I did purchase the 4.56 gears and they will be installed on Wednesday next week. I ordered a set of electric fans as well for my truck from FF Dynamics. I am very excited to see what my truck feels like with the new gears, fans, and graphon w/ 91 custom performance tunes. I have been running stock w/ just CAI and custom exhaust. My truck has not thrown lean codes since I took off my edge and sent it to PHP. All I can say is thanks to everyone who has helped. I have learned a lot lately. And there is a Nissan Titan in big trouble after my mods are completed. He barely beat me on the track last time. LOL. I normally don't race but everyone has talked down my truck cuz it's a Ford. I just think someone ought to show up and give Ford back it's name.

Ain't gonna lie, those Titans are pretty quick. Hope he barely beat you when you added the 35s and not before.

Give that Titan hell! And if you wouldn't mind I'd LOVE to get some feedback on the ff dynamics efan kit. Shoot me a pm or start a thread about it once you get them installed if you can remember. I'm probably going to go with the same kit but probably not until this summer sometime. Good luck with everything.

The titans are pretty quick

Running mid 6 to 60 isn't bad for truck n/a

Mine beats out nissans, dodges, chevrolets, bmws lol

That's on 35s without custom tunes, or underdrive pulleys and on 87 canned from php

My plans are for 4.56 gears, underdrives, cams, custom 87 performance, and one day a supercharger.

Better yet I think Ill get an ecoboost

The Titan beat me on canned tunes on an Edge w/ 35" tires and 3.73 gearing. Next time we race it will be with me having 4.56 gears, custom performance tunes on a Graphon that accounts for ALL my mods and efans. Hopefully than means he will be toast. My efans from FF Dynamics go on this Friday. My mechanic is hooking it up for me. That way he can monitor the temp and make sure they turn on and off like they should. They are build better than other kits and the kit is really nice and easy to install. I will start a new thread once they are installed. And of course after my Graphon shows up and I smoke the Titan and Tundra. I will be letting anyone who cares know how nice they look in the rearview mirror!
