| Guys im just about to pay off my 2000 4wd 5.4 ext. cab and im kinda looking for a little more power. I pull a 26' camping trailer and need a little more, but on the flip side i need to keep as much gas in the tank as i can. programers, throtle spacers, any ideas and if so what kind. thank guys. |

| I'd say go for a programmer and intake, throttle body spacer = waste of money in my opinion. AF1 and S&B are both great options |

| You can make it perform better by throwing money at it, but it is highly unlikely you will see any significant mileage gains from throwing money at the Blue Oval. |

| Don't expect big mpg gains like 03 said. I would do tuner, intake, electric fans, pullies and exhaust. Give you better performance and at least keep your mpg or make it a little better.
Make it breathe better and remove all that weight of the clutch fan. Pulleys work but don't help mileage much. |
