how do i get 50 more horses out of my 99 ford f-150 pickup truck?

Question

it,s a 6 clynder

Answer 1

You can always put a super charger in it...

It's hard to know really... is it the stock motor or an inline 6? Have you done any mods to it? ect.

Answer 2

50 more horses is asking A LOT from the 6 cylinder! I don't think it could be done without forced induction. A start would be free flowing intake and exhaust (including headers). A high performance cam if you can find one, some sort of computer programmer/chip, Mass airflow sensor.

You could just change the axle gears as well. This doesn't change your motor power output, but does change the amount of power to the ground. the higher the ratio, the more power you will feel, but your top speed is limited due to the gearing change.

Answer 3

N.O.S. You have the 4.2L V6. A cold air kit like one from Outlaw Power that draws in cold outside air, not heated underhood air like K&n, a good Cat-back exhaust like Flowmaster or Magnaflow and a Programmer like a Diablosport Predator and underdrive pulleys.As well as an electric fan. You probably still wont get 50hp though. Maybe 30.

Answer 4

The cheapiest, easiest route would be a Nitrious set up. If you are looking for towing horsepower/torque then you should go the change the air box with a K&N filter and modify the exhaust, look for some unride pulleys and a performance chip. Not sure if they make them for 6 cylinder engines.

Answer 5

first thing is replace air box unit and intake hose...with a K&N unit, then get rid of stock exhaust manifold and get a good quality header, and free flowing exhaust system...dunno if it get you 50 horse, but 35-40 almost a sure bet.

Answer 6

to get 50 out of that six will be a miracle without forced induction. hell it would probably be cheaper just to put in a v-8

Answer 7

Trade it in for a CHEVY!!
