than dont come on here saying you are so much faster the every 5.4 out there because you street raced one on the way home. if you want us to believe that you have some sort of super V6 than take it to the track and have a real race and if your truck is so fast than you should have no problem proving us all wrong, so untill then, im throwing in the BS flag. also, street racing is lame.

I never said I was faster than any 5.4 on here. I just said I would race them, big difference. My isn't even fast, it can just keep up with my buddies 5.4. If you get all butt hurt cause ONE V6 beats a 5.4 and all you want is official times from the V6 theres something wrong. No ones asked a damn thing about wither truck has been maintained, miles, conditon, year how much stock Hp wiether it was towing or not, if weither truck had weight in the bed. So shut up, please. You dont know anything about the race except what I have stated so far.

Both were empty, one person riding. Neither towing or anything in the bed. Both have 101k on them.

Last post from me:
Im going hunting, ironically with my buddy who I raced in this video.

Im a 2WD, 4200 lbs probably making 215-218 at the crank, stock gears and slightly bigger tires.

He is 4x4 33's, 4:10's weighs much more and probably makes 260-265 at the crank. After drive train loss our power to weight ratio is probably preety damn close.

I doubt it makes 260 at the crank. That's what they are rated at brand new. Factor in miles and it will be much lower than that at the wheels.

BO Man, lets see how fast you are, you have to be honest about it tho. Find yourself a flat section of road and run it 0-60 or 0-80 since it's a 4two. Record your speedo (lol) and tac during the run.

My trucks not fast, I work it and it has close to 300,000 miles . That said, you should be able to keep up right. Time it, or we'll time it, you just tape it. This one has even less power than the one you raced, so it should be cake right ??? Here I go -

That's a factory original tune as well, - lets see it

EDIT: I'm at 6685 GVW 4x4, I'll post my sig, pretty close to stock.

Blue Oval Man,

Sorry to confuse you with FACTS!!!

Like others have said, post track times or other viable proof!!!!

BTW, simple physics will also back me in the fact that the 5.4 IS quicker than the 4.2. The formula is F = M x A; Force equals mass times acceleration. If the mass is equal, and more force is applied to the mass, the acceleration increases. See, simple high school physics and algebra (those classes you either skipped to smoke another bowl or couldn't comprehend).

And yes, there was a 1/2 second difference 0-60 between the 4.2 and the 5.4 powered F150's I owned. I saw it with my own eyes on a calibrated meter that showed the 0-60 times, not a handheld stopwatch or street race. I don't count a street race as ANY type of proof, other than of the stupidity of the drivers involved.

P.S. The truth and facts hurt, don't they?

Well, if you don't come back with a vid, -since I know you can work a camera now, then we'll all know what's wrong. No butts about it.
