Intake? K&N or what?
i have a 2000 5.4 F150. have about a $250 to spend. what is the best for my buck? also where online can i get a good deal on an intake?
what are your thougts on a plastic pipe vs. a metal pipe? is it just the look? or is one better than the other?
any advice would be great.

Go to the "Computer Chips" Section and go into any of the threads and you will find a post by Mike Troyer, with his E mail link etc. Or you can post a question for Mike and he will be along.

You are welcome. Gas is pricey here in Colorado also. 91 has been as high as 1.98 in the mountains, 87 has been 1.89. Althought the "Chip" is not a mileage chip, folks are reporting better mileage with it, IF they can keep their foot out of it!! Read some of the threads over there and you will come across all that stuff. If premium costs 10 cents per gallon more, that is only $2.50 per tank, not bad for a lot better performance etc. They also make a "Flip Chip", can run regular on one seting and premium on the other when towing etc, but you don't get all the performance benefiets of running premium. It's all in that section, or post your questions for Mike Troyer and he will take care of you. Good Luck

Gas issue aside, the Superchip is the best bang for the buck product. Next, would be the intake and exhaust mods.
