Lettuce be cereal

Only way to get better throttle response is with the purple power bands.

Green ones will give you more peak HP though. All depends on your application.

They have adjustable ones now though, but they're about double the price.

Adjustable Powerband - $95.99 : KaleCoAuto.com, Your home for the rare, unusual, and hard to find auto parts.



But in reply to your original post: I'll get my buddy with a 2012 5.0 F150 to try it and report back. I'm sure if it were some miracle trick it'd be known. Hell it may only work on Fords if it does.

From that link you can see that there are a bunch of guys that swear by it and a few that say its BS. I personally haven't tried it on my truck but will prolly give it a whirl tomorrow. I mean I guess it can't hurt.

Question, if you do those powerbands do you need to also upgrade to the cross drilled brake lines too?

You should, you have more power, so you'll need to stop better.

Be careful though when you install those powerbands, you'll probably have to upgrade your Kuhnestein valve.

He's just mad his revolution capacitor is interfering with his wobble shaft which in turn makes his compression discumbobulator not function properly.
