went to the track to meet some friends. ran the truck just to see. this is with a weight of 6540 pounds. 04 supercrew fx4 3.55 gears.. hard tonnea cover,ranchhand brush guard,bed carpet.nitto 33's. 75* outside with 70% humidity.
16.56@83.58. 2.24 60ft.
airforce one-93 performance tune xcal(only 100 miles on it without dyno fix yet) flowmaster exhaust.

 

Is the last line, the performance mods you have on the truck?

I wonder what my truck would do also. I have exhaust and intake. I wonder what the tuner(Xcal2) will do?

 

I dont think that time is too bad considering all the extra weight u have on your truck plus it being a screw with 3.55 gears

 

yes the last line is the mods. intake,exhaust,xcal 93. and yes i am happy with the times being a screw with the tires and all the weight.

 

Awesome!

 

GEARS BABY! you will be in the mid to high 15's definatly.....

 

I have an 05 Lariat crew I'm running 15.3's you dont need gears for that.

 

Not bad, considering you have 3 mods done. right?

Xcal2
Intake
Exhaust

 

yea and the pulleys, I think all my mods together would have been cheaper than gears.

 

You could even purchase backup parts for the garage shelf with those mods and STILL be under the investment for gears & installation.

Being a Mustang fan, the first thing I "thought" I would do is install gears. When my 4X4 mechanic told me his estimate, I was like " "

 

The cost of all your parts are not cheaper than gears in themselves, it's the labor that is expensive. Gears are cheap really. Besides, if you get an intake ($275) and cat back exhaust ($400) then you have already spent more than the cost of swapping in some gears (for a 2wd truck).

Gears make looooaaaddds more difference than intake and exhaust do anyays. Much more worth the money imho.

 

Gear's + tunner =

 

Im with you gears would make a big difference, I'm happy with my truck I love the shock factor at the dragstrip

 

Seems slow to me, but that's just me!

 

I have the tuner, gears are next as soon as save up the money. I haven't read anything on this site to convince me performance wise to shell out the money for an intake or an exhaust seeing as how my flowmaster on my Bronco got old.

Hey, how is your top end with the 4.56 gears? I would love to go ***** out and get those, but part of me says just stick with 4.10's. I know, I know, don't fear the gear, but I need assurance.
