Ok, I've got about 55K on mine and its about to out of warranty and I'm wondering what other's have done in the tune up area: Spark plugs, coils, wires etc. Anybody done underdrive pulleys?

Hey yeah I've put an AEM Brute Force Intake, Flowmaster 40 series exhaust, 180 degree thermostat, and a jet chip in my raider and all of these have definately increased the performance of my raider except the jet chip which I can tell no difference when it is installed.

where did u get the 180 degree thermostat from? do u have a part number?

I don't have the part number but I got it from Jegs.com. I had to call them to find the part number. It only took a few minutes to call and they told me within a few minutes. Do you have any other ideas that can improve my truck that are relatively cheap?

u have the 4.7l v8. thats why u can get the low temp thermostat. lucky.

my buddy owns a shop and we are working on fabricating some headers for the raider. as well as like a front mount intercooler, but without the turbo or anything to supply even colder/fresher air to the engine for even more power.

once we get both of those done, we are going to start working on the turbo kit for it. ill keep u updated as things come around. it'll be another month or two before we start on the turbo kit.

Yeah I am interested in somemore upgrades, I'm not sure if I want to go so far as a turbo but hey if it's not too steep and if it's self contained I'll go for it. Keep me posted and let me know of any pricing. Thanks

So, since your mods have been on for a while, how has the MPG's been?
