Question How fast is a 5.4 stock???

Does any one know what is the top speed on, say a 2002 f150 with the 5.4. Im sure there is a speed limiter, but if you took it off what would it do? What about 1/4 mile times? If you were to take off the limiter and add a supercharger would the drivetrain tear apart at high speeds?

Thumbs up

Well first, there's a ringing in your ears then the skin over your cheeks starts flapping and folds back making you look like a snarl. You notice your feet feel heavy because thats where most of the bloods going. Also, your eyes water but, for some reason you are unable to blink. All of your knuckles turn white but, that's a given. If you happen to be driving East at top end, be sure and have a calendar with you because you will at least go into yesterday and could go into earlier in the week depending on what gears you have.

Fast enough for you?

Now that you mention it, that would make sense.
I haven't actually gone that fast myself.
I got that description from the Lightning Forum.
I think that guy said he only had a chip and filter.

Personaly, if it was me, I would only run these trucks North and South. Don't even have to so much as reset your watch, that way.

Now what if you took a North East or South West path?

Or did I just find out how to stop time?
