Well, for all of those who want to see some performance numbers out of a full weight F-150 (supercab, 4WD, Lariat) with the popular bolt ons...here's the timeslip... 1/4 Mile Timeslip

Here are my mods....

4.56 Gears, stock 32" Goodyears
DiabloSport Predator
Airaid Intake
Magnaflow Catback
Carbon Fiber Driveshaft
ASP Underdrive Pulleys
Synthetic Oil

So, when Car and Driver may have gotten a 17.0 out of their SCrew Lariat 4WD, it doesn't mean our trucks are complete dogs. They just need waking up. I am done now....just needed to get some respectable numbers from the "300 HP" motor.

Check this out.... Titan XE King Cab 2WD w/ stock airbox mods I was shocked to see we both ran the same times, but he's still got a tad over 2 mph on me, probably from the 800 lb weight difference!

 

WHAT WAS THE TIME.

 

For those who are link challenged, 15.317 @ 88.67 mph.

 

theres 2 times on the slip. you should mention what side.

 

What kind of fuel economy do you get with those 4.56 gears?

 

MY BAD

 

Sorry....just assumed that it was obvious....18.859 is a tad slower than any production F-150, and definitely not something to brag about.

I get 14 mpg in the city, easy driving, and 15.5 on the highway. Just for reference, with the 3.73s I got 13 mpg in the city and 16.5 on the highway. Truck only has 3200 miles.

 

Man, that's just mean!
If it was the the time on the Riight then he just would have said,
"Car & Driver rocks!"

Nice job Robert dropping nearly 2 seconds.
SVT needed a blower to do that.

 

WTG Robert!
I thought your old gears had 4-5K miles on them when I bought them from you? Those old gears are newer than I thought. I'm still playing catch-up going from 3.31 to 3.73, but my tires are only 30" diameter. We will have to compare soon.

 

dang that Titan only has stock airbox mod and is running 15 sec. 1/4 mile times.

 

I'm not impressed.

If you can get your 01 Mustang Bullitt to haul 800 lbs. of mulch, then I'll be impressed.

 

I'm pretty impressed.Don't these trucks run around a 17 stock.

 

LMAO... ".411" reaction time, you redlighted?

 

actuallly he has the .574 light. which in reality could be a 1.074 light becuase at some tracks they print it out as a .000 being a perfect light.

 

Yeah, I was the .574, and this track is not up to new times... it'd be a .074 at a quality track.

Nope...only 2700 at the time With your 2WD tires, your truck should really wake up with the 3.73s. It'd be about the same as my jump from the 3.73s to 4.30s....which I would have done had 4.30s been available for our 9.75 rear

Yeah! Those bad boys are FAST, thanks mostly to the 5 speed auto and a LOT less weight. As I have stated over and over, our trucks (4WDs) have HORRIBLE stock gearing. The 3.73 rear is decent with a 2WD b/c of the shorter stock tires, but the 4WDs should come STANDARD with at least a 4.10. I have a friend with a '98 F-150 5.4 2WD that has a superchips chip and an air filter. The truck runs 15.5s all day long. An 04 or 05 2WD 5.4 F-150 w/ a superchips 1714 and air filter would struggle to run 15.5s, yet it has 40 more HP! Ford dropped the ball on the weight of these trucks. Yeah, it's nice and quiet, but come on....hundreds of lbs heavier than the closest competition is uncalled for.
