Thanks to who ever answers me

 

I now exactly what you're talking about. Now expecting that your filters are clean and your tune up parts are healthy.....I got my 2001 XLT 4x4 (4.0 SOHC) from my father in law and it was amazing how far I had to push the pedal to get it rolling, especially with how hard the pedal is. I lubed up the cable on both ends, and the throttle body cam/spring, and then did the "zip tie mod". After that I did the air box mod with a K&N drop-in filter. Everything helped incrementally......then I ordered the Diablosport Predator 2 on the Christmas special. Just because I live in CA and am paranoid about further restrictions, I ordered the 50 state legal version which I knew would limit my options....but I wanted the "magic door jam sticker" for legalities.
I can honestly say, at almost 62 years old and how much money I spent on manifolds, cams, carbs, headers, exhaust etc....in my younger days to achieve power, this was the best 340.00 I spent (delivered) on any performance mod in my life. Even with the canned, CARB Approved, "87 Octane Performance Tune", along with a couple other specific adjustments, it woke up this 21 year old 4.0. I had a chance to take it out on actual open two lane highway today heading to Sac (I live in the sticks), I stabbed it at 50 mph, and passed a car and a big rig and it hit 85 really quickly. Even my passenger was amazed. I can't even imagine what the other non-CARB approved tunes may do. Just my .02.
The good part? The Predator stores your original mapping so you can reload it for shop work or warranty.
