I know the truck is for hauling and towing but Oh my is it slow! I was coming home from the beach with the wife and kids. Two punks were messing around in a old Jetta and a Focus wagon. Well they lined up and I got next to them. I hit and they left me behind like I wasn't moving. There cars were old pieces of s@$t so they could not have any significant work to them. My throttle response seems to be the issue.
4.6 v8

My friend is crying about gas mileage, he has a 5.4L with 3.73 gears. I'm trying to get him to trade diffs.
Since there is not a supercharger on the market for you at this time, we will move past that suggestion.
Where is your programmer?
3.55 and a 4.6 does not help you due to the weight of our trucks. 4.10 and a programmer would be a big help

Wow 4.11 just sounds so big. I do about 75% highway, i'm afraid this may hurt my MPG.
Shoot if you do the math. The cost in aftermarket parts to get the 4.6 moving I should just trade up to a 5.4 rig. Of course if the dealer doesn't rape me on the trade in allowance.

Not even going to get into the main topic, but on a side note don't under estimate the foci. There are several engine options, and none are a joke..the wagon had a 2.3 that would lay a lickin' on a 4.6 no problem

I smoked one the other day. Wasn't even CLOSE.

4.10 gears may actually help your mileage out since your truckis under powered and weighs a buttload

Hey I sympathize w/ the 4.6. I'm pretty sure the best ya can hope for is really good performance... for a 4.6L. We were talkin' bout this on another thread Street Scene or 2004+ can't remember. Like I said, ya can do the upgrades & have a better runnin rig for yourself, but on the whole spectrum not much. Good Luck & don't get discouraged. If ya had a 5.4 w/ SC, 4.10s, & programmer you'd wonder why the Roush Stage 2 Mustang passed ya! It never seems to be enough does it?
