I actually never met Lee. I saw the sticker on the windshield of his truck at the gas station by my daughters school. Came to find out he wasn't even the one driving! LOL. I figured anybody proud enough to be reppin a forum site that hard I had to check it out. I'm glad I did.
Trust me bro, I will definitely be reaching out for help. I know what I want to do and how I want it done but on the mechanical side I'm a little lacking. As for power mods I'm a little disappointed with the V-10 making less than 400HP. I believe it was factory rated at 360HP (having 140K on the ticker I'm sure it's down even more). For now I might just go with a CAI and a Cat back, I will definitely have to upgrade the alternator to one around 180 amp to handle the audio and lighting upgrades. With gas at over $4.00 I'm more interested in improving fuel economy and reliability than HP. One day I might look into adding more power but for now it's just going to be a refresh of the stock drive train.
i think in those years the powerstrokes were only rated like 350hp so you have only a few more than that lol. cat back and the alternator would be good things to get. you could check into efans and programmers also.
