just curious what dose the mass air flow meter do for ya. I have heard that it allows for more air to flow in but I would think it would cause a lean condition as more air intake with some of these new intakes causes a lean condition. perhaps it allows the computer to compinsate for the more air. just curious what it dose for you thanks.

Well I can answer the question, it won't be a Hemi. Im almost positive that with those 35s its not going to be much if any faster than a stock F-150.

I second that opinion.

35's will definitely make it slower than a stock f150. A stock F150 gets eaten alive by a Hemi. It's only after tuning, intake and exhaust can an F150 come close to a FULLY STOCK HEMI. Sorry guys, the hemi and titan have us killed on motor and weight.

I Know exactly what your saying...Thanks for the comments. I couldn't get a lifted truck without tinting the windows...I personally think that one of the best colors in the F-150 is RED. I love darker color trucks, but they show every little thing. I have already been stopped for my Windows, I live in Southern Utah as well as Las Vegas. In Vegas the police have better things to do than stop you for tinted windows...Utah is different, but with Vegas plates and insurance I can get away with it...

Thanks for the comments....I have debated gears, but for right now I am going to focus on the audio/video system. The tires are awesome just a little loud. I really can't comment on the wearing because I only have about 500 miles on my truck.

How do you see out of the windshield at night with 20% tint. Don't you think that is a little dangerous??

20% Tint is not very dark. I think its actually harder to see out of the side windows at night in any car with limo tint. The Nokya Hyper White bulbs really brighten up the road.

I love the Nitto Tires, before I got my truck I looked at my tire and lift options for about 3 months...The Nitto tires were extremely hard to get ahold of, but once I did I would never go with anything else...My only complaint is that they are pretty loud at any speed but ride very smooth, they do not feel like a mud tire. It has been rainy the last few days so finally some mud. I took it out today for our first mud adventure. The tires did awesome, never got stuck and I went through some deep stuff. The intake was installed about 4 days ago. It was on backorder through AEM while they were switching to the dry flow filter. I like the intake, it does get pretty loud in the higher gears and while freeway driving. Install was pretty easy, so far no CEL's. I have the 3:73 gears stock from the factory and with all the mods it runs good, but in no way can I beat a stock hemi. I bought a Ford for other aspects, I knew it wasn't very fast but you can't deny that the F-150 is the best looking, pickup on the market today.... I hope this helps

I think that unless you install a supercharger odds are your not beating a stock hemi.

Regearing should change that a bit. You say it runs "good", and I'd like to hear someone besides BigTruck311 with the lightning swap say their lifted truck is fast. That Hemi I drove felt like it couldn't push no more, felt like it was significantly underpowered, if you attach a trailer, it would roll back. I am not asking for the best of both worlds, just a taste from my man Mr. Speed. I am and have been considering just leaving it stock, and getting a supercharger as I will probably have a Jeep to tow on the side for offroading. I still want to lift my truck, but if I'm getting smoked by a off the lot F150, I will not lift it.

Can you break them loose just punching it (doubt it), or with a brakestand/powerbrake.

I would put a Ford emblem on the front grill. Overall the truck looks sweet.
