If so, spend the cash on making her look pretty. :)

When Billy told me about the 7.3L truck he's driving back from Utah, one of the first questions I asked was: "What color is it?" The second: "How many miles does it have on it?" The third: "What year is it?" The fourth: "Would that be an early or late 2001?" (I wanted to know if it has PMRs or not.)

In case you're wondering, we're having it painted a lovely shade of red (my favorite!) as soon as we can scrape together the money. :spend: Of course, he's already talking about making it a racing truck, so we're coming at you from two different camps. :giggle:

Not really. I guess im still use to my 07 Fx2 which took off like a mustang with it being lighter then this one. I drive like a normal person until some one makes me mad or going slow then i like to get my point across by blowing past them. I know the programmer as soon as i figure out which one im going to be able to get will help a lot but you can never have to much power.;). I wanted to turn that 07 into a project truck after college but wont be able to now.:cursin: but good luck with your all's new truck i was looking at some diesels before i seen the price of them when i got my 09.

Groovy chick- do you think that you will know if PHP will be able to release the gryphon by monday because if not i think im going to just order the XCAL 3.

Y'know what's just SO wrong?
Even though he's lost his hair, Billy still looks like himself even after 13 years together. I look at pictures of me and I just look OLD and TIRED. :oldlady: SO unfair. :giggle:
But I have a husband and two sons who tell me every day how pretty I am (Oh, how they LIE!), so I can't complain. :thumbs up yellow:

:hehe::rofl::smiley_roll1: THAT is funny! :2thumbs:

I went with looks and sound because I knew my truck would never be able to beat a 15 second 1/4 mile. (makes it in 16 which really suprised me :whistle1:)

But if you get a functional ram air hood that will give you a true CAI. I would say that the hood fits into both performance and looks category if thats the case. :thumbs up yellow:
I would stick with the stock black grill but then again I am biased, I actually liked that one on mine. But your talking about the blue '09 right? I dont really remember if you had another because I do remember that the other one got wrecked.

yeah im talking about the 09. The 07 is sitting in a junk yard some where.:(

I got an 04 F150 5.4L
I plan on getting mid 15s with just exhaust, intake, and gryphon...
I am probably low 16s right now with just exhaust and intake.

its a 2009 F150 5.4 V8 Fx4 im getting about 16-17 highway with true-duals(magnaflow) k@n cai, MAF. hopefully soon to be gryphon or XCAL 3:woot:

Then that thing would look sweeet with a ram hood if you got one that was square. I was looking at ram hoods for my truck but they were a little more than I can afford. :sigh:

I would go for the hood and save the leftover for the gryphon when they come out.
...then get the underdrive pulleys and grill upgrade. :D

I think im going to play it smart and get the underdrive kit and the programmer with custom tunes. save a little extra money. Ill save up for the hood maybe later in the summer or fall

but your plan is tempting.
