Status: online   napa number is 530080. just ask for a 180 stat for a 5.2/5.9 motor they are the same for the 4.7. a cooler engine will produce a few more horses but not really noticable. also it does help out alot if you get a tank of really cheap gas. helps stop pinging _____________________________ thats right, i did it so what, cry two tears in a bucket, @#$% it, lets take it to the stage 13.7 / 101.3 in the 1/4 mile (in reply to Frenchy) Post #: 9
