There is also going with an aftermarket TB, but that TB isnt where the restriction is, it is in the elbow after the TB, so its kind of worthless to do so.<br /><br />Hope this helps (btw I have a 97 F-150, so that is how I know so much)<br /><br />Josh<br /> <br /> <small>[ May 03, 2003, 02:06 AM: Message edited by: Chico Stang ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>GOT 50</b> <br /><small>Member # 1960</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,4,3,8,26,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> kenne bell whipple charger... <img border="0" alt="[Whoo Whooooo!]" title="" src="graemlins/woowoo.gif" /> ..

Ended up with 365rwhp and 400rwlb.ft. torque! And it drives like a stock truck.<br />There was a lot of R&D to get the Aftercooler to fit (originally designed for an LT1 Camaro), but it was obviously worth it!
