Heat is not really bad at all for the truck because timing gets pulled by the ECU. I lived in Phoenix with 122° on the tarmac and the truck, albeit a little weaker in the power department, still ran just fine. Just don't even think of running a pulley kit on the Non I/C kit. Otherwise expect a nice $7500 paperweight.


Not for the sake of arguement, but I am running a 2# lower with Mikes custom tuning.I drive it hard, tow with it, and have made several 1000 mile plus freeway trips at 80+ mph in the heat and cold.
If your budget indicates that you can afford the non IC kit, then by all means that is what you should go with.
I agree that powerwise the IC'd will out perform. However there are many non-IC'd Roush powerd F-150's out there making between 320-340hp.
