Thanks for the info. This is my first oil-burner so I want to go all out. My 00 EX is almost maxed out with goodies or at least without going overboard. I look forward to the new project.

Enjoy...It's truly an awesome machine. One more thing...how about a grill guard.

OR MY FAV a front bumper replacement....., you'll need to adjust your front suspention, It's like added a snow plow...
This bumper is great for pushing and it's deer proof...
Don't forget Class V bumpers replacements too...
Cheers

Ma Audio 5x7 speakers
Ma Audio 4ch Amp
Ma Audio 2ch Amp
Selenium Extreme 12" sub

There are other vendors, too, but they list pretty significant gains with their stage II kit. No personal experience with the product. |
Thanks Eric, $300+ For a fancy air cleaner sounds goofy I was suckered into one (K&N) on my V-10 and saw no change. In fact the only thing I do is clean the darn thing. The ol' paper was eaiser. Being a different motor concept I would be willing to give it a go with some real world experiences behind it. -Bill

I hear you on that one. This is what makes the diesels so much fun. A computer chip on a gasser wouldn't yield nearly the same results as one does on the diesel...at least those $300 air intake systems are specifically designed for the Powerstroke. The K&N claims can be a bit too "general" at times. For all you know, their dyno results could be from a 289 in a '66 Mustang. The product above on the other hand, is from the same motor that you have.
I'll leave it up to others to chime in. All I have is the K&N panel filter. No seat-of-the-pants difference, but I prefer cleaning (when I remember!  ) rather than buying new paper filters all the time. I drive a lot, those paper filters add up! 120,000+ miles and counting...
