How serious can you afford ? How about starting with hotter cams and lower gears ?

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

they have about anything and everything for building up the 4.7. but like Kow said it depends on how much money your willing to spend. cams gears are a starter. a 68 to 70 MM TB. for me my truck is fine as I am only looking for mild upgrades. like HO cams and superchips programer. I got the programmer on order right now.

Your Quad Cab weighs weighs around 4250 pounds empty, shane, or about 300 more than a Club Cab, and 500 more than a Regular Cab of the same specs. A 3:92 (or higher numerical) rear gear will help more than anything, considering the weight, (assuming you have a 3:55). HO cams (leave the '01 intake on), at least a K&N or equal drop-in filter, Magnaflow or similar Y-pipe, Hi-flow catalytic converter, and freer-flowing muffler and exhaust helped my '01 4.7. I also have a self-ported 68mm throttle body, and use Bosch 4418 plugs, and mix 2/3 87 octane with 1/3 93, Mobil1 5w30 and Amsoil synthetic rear fluid. No complaints about performance, but that's why I bought a 5-speed 3:92LSD Regular Cab anyway.

If the pump has one hose just get 89,it`s the same as "2/3 87 octane with 1/3 93". Most, if not all, gas stations just have 87 and 91/93 and mix the two through the pump to get 89 anyways.
