They’re open headers right now. And a buddy just gave me a cam he had laying around. I don’t remember what it is but it’s not huge or small the idle will smooth out some once it’s done. I don’t have MAF or IAT on it yet so it’s just running in speed density mode and the ecu thinks it’s -40 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, it sounds like a nice combo so far. What kind of exhaust restrictions do you have up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of exhaust restrictions do you have up there? No restrictions other than excessive noise. Speed engineering makes a 3” stainless exhaust kit for these headers. Probably order that at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farting around with rerouting, retuning and remapping to stop all the error codes was the shittiest part. It’s kinda fun having a beefy truck. I’ve never bothered before on my others.

These trucks had no emissions from factory so they’re good to go back in 1975 the feds mandated that any vehicle under 6000 GVW had to have the full sausage emissions system. Cats, smog pumps the whole shebang so in 75 ford and GM raised the GVW of their 1/2 tons over 6000 to get exempted and the heavy half and F150’s were born Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the original parts if I have to go back. Yeah, saved all my parts too. MN doesn’t require the yearly testing so, you can do what you want...however, it’s illegal to sell any vehicle that has had EPA mandated emissions removed and not a single dealer will take even a peek at it for a trade in. Whatever. I plan on keeping it for a long time. It does spew out some serious crap that stains the panels, that’s for sure....but I make up for it by not producing and selling polystyrene products. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
