Just curious if there is any new information on the possible Microtuner for the V6…

 

LOL, that's what you get for buying the v6. j/j

 

Hi 01,

No, nothing new since the last time we spoke about this a few weeks ago, and at that time a rough timeframe of sometime towards summer's end was being discussed, like late August, maybe early September, etc.

After reading lifeguardjoe's response (and I know he was just kidding, of course), I have to say I think having a 4.2 V6 is a fine idea that works for many F-150 owners (I wouldn't mind having a little short cab 2WD V6 myself). There's *plenty* available in the performance aftermarket for the 4.2 V6 trucks. One of our customers (who recently sold it) had a 5500 lb. 4.2 V6 4X4 that ripped off 6 second 0-60 times, and it's an *automatic*. Making an easy 400+ HP @ 12 PSI, it also had to tow heavy loads much of the time as well, a lot of work went into it's tuning. It never even had the valve covers off, and while it's perhaps a bit on the extreme side, it was an excellent example of the abundant performance available to 4.2 V6 owners who really want to get after it, so don't underestimate those V6's!

 

Thanks for the update, you know I just had to check...

I am not worried about lifeguardjoe comment about the V6, thats what happens to someone that sits in the sun to long...

 

Lol, yeah sun = not good

Those 6's are nice, but they're not an 8.

 

You have a point. However I will have you know my V6 with the 5-speed has beat 3 different V8 (4.6) with automatics at work. All trucks including mine are stock. I have a little more horsepower to my wheels then they do because they have automatics...

Let's say they don't like talking about V6's at work in front of friends, at least the ones who know a V6 handed their V8 butt to them...

 

ah ha! the 5-speed. Very nice.

I'm not bashing the v6's at all. But when you need more power down the line, you can push a v8 a little further than a v6, before it breaks. But don't get me wrong, I love my v8. Ford does a awesome job a shoving out HP from these v6's.

 

If I remember correctly, didn't you have some probs beating that ranger in some of your vids?

I'm just playin with ya.

 

lol. Sometimes I kill him, sometimes I don't. But I always beat him. Plus I'm bone stock.

Oh well, saving up for the MicroTuner God it's going to take forever.

 

Is he stock too?

Save up for the supercharger first!

 

As far as I know he's stock I've thought about a supercharger. I will eventually get one. But the MicroTuner is cheaper.
