Stop light race - dead start - Dodge was the new body style, I would guess an 05, looked very stock, exhaust an all.

I have a 4.6 l SuperCrew 03
- Magnaflow Single Out
- Performance Tune SuperChips
- KN FIPK

Right off the bat he jumped my by 1/2 truck and held it - Around 50 he took me by another full length of a truck! at 70 I let off because of congested area.

ARGH!

I forgot to take overdrive off... Wonder if that would help!

That sucked by the way.

 

taking OD wont help u were only using 1st and 2nd gear and how did ya loose to one unless he was modded was it a Hemi? we have about same mods and i can hold a 2 car lead on a hemi.

 

Have no idea if it was a Hemi - I had it to the floor the whole time!

 

Nah, can't be an SRT 10 with the badges stripped off...could it?

I think it would be much farther ahead than a truck length! They also have 22" wheels and different exhaust, and he mentioned that the truck looked stock. He also has 60-something cubic inches on you if it is a hemi.

 

the ram 1500's have more horses than the F-150's

 

What cab configuration was the Dodge? If it was a reg cab you deserve it. If it was a 4 door he probably had 3.93:1 gears.

um mildly modded 4.6 supercrew vs. any configuration Hemi will lose everytime.

 

Unless you have a mildly modified 1997 which can easily take a two truck length lead and hold it

 

Ford didn't make a Super Crew in 97. But even stock VS stock the Hemi Dodge will beat the F-150. Excluding the Lightning. We are talking 1997 technology vs 2005-6. What do you expect. With all my bolt on I am at about the same power level that a 2006 F-150 starts with. Now I know how the pre 97s felt when the new style 97s came out.

ok but can a moded 05-6 4.6 take a a 4.7 dodge, they have like 260 hp stock right?

 

the hemi's dyno around 200 to the wheels


the GM 5.3 makes HP but no toque...

 

 

HI!... All the stock HEMI dyno info I have seen says they make between 250-260RWH.P.

 

It depends. If it's the regular 4.7L, without the HO cams, it's probably making about 235 HP and 295 FT-LB of torque. When I owned mine, I didn't exactly 'spank' F150's, but I noticed that while the F150 definitely has the edge on torque in the upper RPM's, the Dodge tends to make most of its torque in the lower end. I used to routinely beat F150's off the line, and hold it just enough to beat them, although not by more than 1/2 to 1 truck length. I own a 2004 F150 now, and with my muffler, I can just 'barely' keep even with some of them, and lose to the rest, although by not a lot.

If it's the HO Cams, they're putting down 260HP, and unless the 4.6L is modded pretty well, it's not going to stand a chance against the 4.7L with the HO Cams.
