cool list of parts. I'm happy with mine for now. Gonna move to a Powermax and headstuds at some point. But for now roasting my 35's with relative ease is enough.
I got a $250 ticket the other day for laying down a patch of rubber from a stoplight Stupid me Wasn't even a boosted launch
because I had a 2009 Mustang Bullitt...fast and fun car...very fun car
however
my F-250 is almost as quick when launched from a boost. obviously the car is faster at high speeds, but nothing accelerates like a boosted PSD
and
my truck is appropriate for 90% of the time. It holds 6 people, hauls a load, tows a trailer, and it gets comparable gas mileage (12-14 mpg city truck, Mustang got 14-16 mpg city).
just a few points to consider. I agree that a truck isn't appropriate as a "race" vehicle. But it sure is fun to drive

Here are a FEW pics I have,
This one makes me nervous, but also happy that I bought a kit to replace all the little annoying fittings and screens.
That ripped screen means that my timely oil changes were needed. It is the high pressure oil pump screen. The pump fires the injectors (3-4000+ PSI I think), they run very tight tolerances and the sludge in the oil could cause a failure and this screen is supposed to stop it. I have new injectors so I am not worried about it.
Planning ahead is nice, when I do it!!
went to look at the truck last week, the cab was just sitting on the frame and it is outside the shop. they need the lift space and are waiting on parts.. heads are taking a bit longer then expected and the Up-pipes got shipped to the wrong shop so they will get there tomorrow.
i did get to check out the injectors.. nice!!! oh and i went with 190's
then the pipes got in and the heads were finished but i still dont have the truck...
this wait is getting irritating
