    Intercooler

    wow! i second that mel. that bell intercooler page is pretty cool. dimensions wise how big(tall, wide, and thick) would you have to go for a 6.9 to see some real benefits? as big as you can stuff in there or could you get away with a smaller one that would require less fabrication to fit and...

    Fuel Heat Exchanger

    !!fan clutch eliminator!!

    well i didnt go to carquest but are you saying that they wont have it anyway and the only way to accomplish this is to pin the fan clutch? I was gonna buy a new one untill I realized how much ford wants for one. w/company discount its still $235. would it be worth going to a junkyard and...

    Jumping when letting clutch out
