Wheelspin?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFYkXt8eDL0

Made a few videos today. Practicing launching on back roads... just messin around. Tricky to get it to stick.

The video above is stomping it to about 75% WOT then pressin it to the floor. Nothing but a smoke show. That's on 11" wide tires too.

So if you can't get wheel spin in your F150... just add a little boost.

Here's another. Best run I could get without spinning too much.

If I ever get around putting my long tubes on.. and get a *GOOD* dyno tune.. I'll be set. Also need some drag radials too....

Very nice, I'm very jealous. I've wanted to S/C the truck, but I need to rethink my priorities, lol. Man that thing picks up speed. What do you top out at?

I had the speedo pegged before the blower one night on the highway. I was probably going 130.

I'm not worried about top speed though. I like the feeling of being pushed into the seat.

Very cool. I can only get wheelspin on a freshly wet road if I shock the tires. 3.55 gears and 18's do a lot for traction .

Mine will smoke them if I drop the clutch at about 1500 rpms. Not in the market of wasting tires... yet. That's what my '99 was for.

43,xxx miles. Ive only put about 1500 miles on the truck since I installed the blower.

I've been driving my new (to me) car more often. Flaming yellow Ford focus hatchback (price was right).

Smoke 'em if ya got 'em.....

Reminds me of my old big block truck. Man, I miss that thing... I sure don't miss 6 miles to the gallon though.

K, I know where you're coming from. I went to the drag strip with 18s and had to abort both passes I attempted. Looks like those drag radials are the way to go.
