Not a 3v fan? Guess you arent a fan of 60-70 more horsepower either? Lol. Im just poking fun but my 5.4 in my 01 was a dog compared to this 3v

BIG FAN! But you can get 60 -70 more from a 2V fairly easy. Cheaper than it can be to fix all the 3V problems. Post a vid of your 06 0-80 and I'll show you a faster 98, not much over stock, just intake and pipes.

My 5500lb 04 Supercab 4wd 5.4 did a best record of 7.26 on 0 - 60 on a super flat backroad on a 60 some degree day.

Since I have now upgraded to 20" wheels with 33"s its now 8.10 seconds.

That's light for a SC, real close to me, my 98 SC is at 6600 GVW and hits 60 in about 7 seconds on 265's

That's embarrassing, lol. That's still good for a 4WD land-yacht.

- I get a kick out of all those who go to the opposite lane coming up to the light when I'm pulling a trailer. Light turns green, - most end up merging back into my lane. She's always been quick from the light and I can't help that one bit

Well my doorjam GVW says 7200lb GVWR, but I read that the 04+ 4wd supercrew weighs about 5700 pounds, so I figured my supercab might be around 5500. I wish I could park it on a vehicle weigh scale.

Maybe for racing but i'm not the least bit embarrassed, I'm 21 and I paid off my F150 myself ( bought used for $14k though ) and I have it looking pretty good for what i'm able to spend on it so i'm happy, and I dont care about speed, even though it was fun spanking my buds '03 Z71 at times

Why don't yuh? Pull into the city dump, hop on the scale and just ask them a question, like how to get a residential dump pass. You weight is posted to the right of the scale.

Mine matches my sticker.

idk, but i have the 4.6 supercab 4x4, my truck is in no way fast. 4.6's 2v or 3v are crap, they are reliable i'll give them that much, but i've had the spark plug blowout happen, and some cop's go bad. other then that, i just turned 192k today on my journey from new orleans back to houston, and it's still going strong.

The problem is that you truck is a supercab and has 4WD. IMO, 4.6's are only decent in regular cab short bed trucks.

What's a spark plug blowout? Is that like a flat or something? You run over an old plug?
