roush s/c installed
#46
my only other mod is a removed muffler, which is prolly costing me some low end power. this combined with my effective gear ratio and wide sticky tires, wont let me break em loose from a stop... the best time i could get on the gtech before the s/c was a 16.6, and i didnt expect the s/c to drop those times more than 1.5-2 seconds. you have to remember that the whipple kit runs 2 more psi and is intercooled which provides another 60 rwhp than the roush. i KNOW my wheels are killing me but i can make up for it quite a bit with new gears. and im willing to sacrifice a little speed for looks
but like ive said before, i plan on adding 4.10 gears, 8-9 psi pulley, intercooler and maybe efans. this i think should get me well into the 13's
oh and we ran up along a viper on the highway yesterday. gave him the super loud downshift but he didnt want to play i know i wouldve gotten creamed but it wouldve been fun and we wouldve gotten it on tape

For sure Smokn', you will see deep 13s with the right wheel/tire set-up...gears and a tune. No doubt.

Mattieb87, yeah i thought about that afterwards, we were kinda in a hurry and i didnt think about it

I am by no means claiming you lack common sense, I'm simply trying to understand how you guys break lose so easy as to need drag radials on an F150, is the power really that significant as to where you start spinning even while not under WOT or are you guys just flooring it the entire time. You're really f'in with my bank account when you talk like this dammit.
My curb weight is only 4700lbs empty. I have a 5000lb race weight. I can break loose if I punch it from a 15mph roll. When I downshift from 2nd to 1st I chirp the tires and then bark them in 2nd.
If you watch the video I posted earlier in the thread you can hear my tires bark in 2nd.

My 4x4 screw runs a 16 flat in the quarter. A grand in mods. Intake, exhaust & 1714 tuner. If I blow an extra 5K all I'll get out of it is a less than a friggen' second in the quarter?! WTF?! Even after a 'T' tune.
Guess there is a nice new LCD or Plasma TV in my future! I'll enjoy that 5k a hellova lot more!!
