i want to run mid 14's at the drag strip with only bolt ons....i went last year and ran a 16.4 in the quarter......here is my current set up and am willing to change it all up..........i have the air-aid cold air intake, i have air raid throttle body spacer, the edge evolution programmer, and an exhaust....dont member brand of muffler, i think its got the stock 3:55 gear ratio in the rear and i was running my stock 20inch wheels with 275/55/r20 pirreli tires and yes it is a 2wd sport edition with the 5 1/2 ft bed.........what do you guys suggest i do and i dont want to run a supercharger, turbo, or nitrous

 

superchargers are just bolt ons...


you've got some killer mods there, might want to put the truck back to stock and start over...

 

well help me out then.....what do you recommend as far as parts and if i cant get into the 14's atleast i tried.....but i just want the best of bolt ons and see what i run....and i read somewhere that i can get my edge evolution updated so that i can get some custome tunes made up like the chevy and gmc guys do it on their pick ups.....i would be happy with a low 15 as well

 

I bet gears would make a big difference. Not sure they count as bolt on though lol. Maybe getting the edge turned into a gryphon and some custom tunes? It would be a start...

 

if they dont i am willing to still do it....i mean no one will know when i am racing them that i will have them i will just say they are the stock 3:55's....lol....

 

Without an SC, I think you need to lower your aspirations.

 

Gears would probably be the most bank for your buck at this point, but 14's is probably gonna need NOS or forced-induction of one form or another. 4.11's would definitely add some punch over the 3.55's.

 

Do you have a 4.6? 16.4 is slow with all those mods and 2wd. I ran a 15.9 in a 4x4 6.5ft screw. Theres always nitrous or supercharger.

 

Not going to get you in the 14's but going ahead and updating your edge to a gryphon and getting customs tunes is a no brainer. At least with custom tunes you can take advantage of what mods you already have, the caned tunes in the evo are not doing that. Its better for the health of your truck. Not to mention if you ever do regear and S/C which will make a hell of a difference you can use your programmer to do some additional tunning/monitoring.

 

my truck is a 5.4 and i was thinkin about doing the gryphon update on it i just dont know much about it....and is other tuning options i mean who does custom tunes for the f150

 

Check out the tunners/programmers section of the forum. I think 88Racing has several links to tunners, inlucing PHP, Troyer, vmp. Do a quick search for him and look in his signature.

I'm surprised that nobody said anything about the TBS. They don't work on our trucks, take it off and start from there.

 

Longtube headers
Full exhaust
Gears
Custom tuned programmer
Get rid of the TBS unless you want to be made fun of.

If that doesn't get you close to your goal, forced induction.

 

Longtubes with x pipe or h pipe
electric fans
Underdrive pulleys
FRPP hot rod cams ( I have the cams and LOVE them)
Custom tune
electric water pump
4.11 gears

 

I do plan on the long tube headers and an x pipe....need to send off my programmer and also change the gears to either 373s or 411s and wat about getting a bigger throttle body
