Wats goin on people! just lettin' yall know im new here so ya. Ive got 1992 F-150 custom w/ a 4.9L straight 6. Any ways i plan on puttin a Poweraid Throttle Body Spacer, a K&N fuel injection intake kit in it, and a flowmaster american thunder exaust system. Right now its got about 150 Hp and 245 ft/lbs of torque. By the time im done i hope illl have atleast 200-210 hp and at least 300+ ft/lbs of torque. Then itll be time to eat some ricers. Yum. thers my plans tell me wat ya think or wat should i add!

first off you should forget about the spacer cause they suck and the only thing they are good for is a paper weight !
second the only way that truck is gunna eat rice is if you dump some into the gas tank.
instead of wasting the money on the injection unit get yourself a supercharger and then you can have 300 hp and 410 ftlbs of torque.

I agree that the spacer is mostly a waste of time. It will only be of use at upper R.P.M.'s.
The rest of your plan's are pretty solid thou. The big six is a strong engine, but at upper rev's it tend's to blow out the rear seal.
The super charger would be a real plus.
