I've been in love with this truck since I saw the concept SVT Adrenalin back in 2005.  For some reason, Ford decided not to produce the SVT Adrenalin.  It was supposed to have the 390HP 4.6L 32V Supercharged Terminator V8.  The production Adrenalin did get the AWD system, and most of the SVT styling from the concept SVT Adrenalin. 

I did most of my research on the mods with the help of www.mysporttrac.com .  This site is amazing.

I ordered mine in Feb. It was delivered on May 30th 2008.

Some pics from the day I picked it up!

Performance Mods

~Exhaust Mods~

Magnaflow #14236 5"x8"x14" Oval Offset/Offset 2.5"/2.5" muffler. Purchased at www.performancepeddler.com and installed by my local Midas. Installed on 6/13/08.

Dynomax Exhaust Dump #88340 2.5". I purchased this so I could better adjust the DMH e-Cutout.  We installed it as close to the last cat as possible on the custom intermediate pipe. Installed on 1/15/09

DMH 2.5" Electric Exhaust Cutout. We installed the cutout as close to the last cat as possible.  The sound with this thing open is literally earth shaking! It's extremely loud and I'm glad I can shut it off with the push of a button. Installled on 1/15/09.

I recently removed the cutout and installed the Dynomax block-off plate in its place.  The cutout transmission seized. I probably use it three or four times a day since Jan. Removed on 4/18/09.

~Air Intake Mods~

K&N 63-2573 Series Air Charger Intake. Purchased from www.performancepeddler.com .  A great purchase A must have performance upgrade. It sounds awesome, increases throttle response and looks great. I chose the 63 series over the 77 stainless version because of the 63 series OEM look and it's higher HP gain rating. You can actually feel the performance gain under your right foot! Installed on 6/14/08.

Zabteck Drive-By-Wire Modified Throttle Body. This mod really opened up the low end horsepower and torque.  You can feel the increased flow through the entire RPM range.  Installled on 12/11/08.

~ECM & TCM Mods~

SCT Xcal III Flash Tuner. Purchased from www.fastpartsnetwork.com and tuned by Torrie, the company owner, this is the single best mod I've done to date. I chose a 87 Economy, 87 Performance and 93 performance tune.  This mod really helped me get the most out of all the other modifications.  I'm looking forward to being able to edit the TCM.  The truck really needs some faster and firmer shifting to help get the most from the rest of the mods.

Need to re-read my post. No where in it do I hate on GM or your ride. I actually said I liked it and the styling...why else would I have purchased one myself years ago?

Thanks bro for the insight.. Idk what it is that I wanna do anymore. I got so caught up in the ideal of turning a V6 into a V8 that I lost sight of that what it is that's best as far as performance wise.Your truck is bad ass btw. Looks pretty slick
