If your goal is more hp, there are no upgrades that will make an appreciable difference, short of supercharging it.

use the 5,000 and put it towards the maintenance and repairs. if you'd like some performance software for the DME and EGS, i can send you a programming package and i can program your vehicle remotely. the package will cost $85 and i will send you the cable and you can keep the cable afterwards. all you need is a high speed internet connection, laptop with 2.0ghz with 2gigs of ram and a stable power supply device.

$5K that is enough for a week worth of gas. LOL actually now that I think about it, that statement is not too far off.:dunno:

Interesting I got a 2001 4.4i can you do anything for it?

yes with my JOb being a therapist and doing House Call all day everyday....its insane how much this SAV swallows gas ...its like never ending filling up....

@ killcrap.....tell me what benefits will i gain from the programming you are offering....im quite interested on this.....and yes....definitely going to need cooling system upgrade or should i say...will need to replace a few parts from it....some preventative issues before it gets me in the long run.....maybe i should just change the spark plugs to top quality and call it a day...:)


also..can we update the Side marker to be off when cruising and only tun on when signaling?...can we update the independent shocks to be lowered by 1"?...-and fog light to be turned on when high beams are on?
