Forced induction prep

It sounds like we 3rd gen owners will have FI option(s) soon-ish.

While waiting on updates and any glimmer of product details... what are some wise updates/upgrades that can be performed?

Preferably only options that won't require changing/redo once the kits do come available.

 

Upgrade your clutch or install a valve body/shift kit if you have an auto. Other than that, not sure what else you could do beforehand without knowing what the FI kits include

 

Start buying premium gas now so you'll be familiar with the pain of having to pay for premium gas

I've been doing it for so long now that I don't even acknowledge the price of 87 or 89, I go by the price of 91. Which always throws off my wife

And no, you can't just add those octane boosters to your gas and call it good. You need a least a dozen of the best ones to increase octane by one or two points. There are one or two you can buy online that are legit but they are $$$

 

Start saving up for new tires

 

think the heavy flywheel will help?

 

depends on what kind of driving you do. could be a dog in the wrong setting.

 

A spare set of rear tires

 

I have 315s I wheel semi often but when I do I push it (florida swamps you have no choice) also I go to the street races and show off here and there

 

• Loosen a ground wire, and get used to the glare of the dash lights.
• Put a flaming bag of dog poo on your dealer's doorstep, along with your contact info and VIN number

 

speaking of upgrading flywheels and clutch parts

hmm did the guy die? the floor is missing

 

Hes an islander they are built tough

 

No but you could probably loose a limb or two that way if you're unlucky

 

Do they make a shift kit for our Automatic trans?

 

nice for holding the spin & torque. not great for throttle response on the street.

 

I have no idea, i have a 2nd gen manual, i just know that the valve body upgrade is popular among 2nd supercharged owners. Id imagine theres something out there for yall. Might try checking ratioteks website

 

An additional oil cooler, oil to air type. A cooling system degas bottle/expansion tank.

 

I would invest in traction bars on the rear, axel wrap is a problem in these trucks now just imagine when they have FI

 

which traction bars, exactly?
