oh and you dont think that holds true for the 01-02 whatever


ummmm...O-K



no its because we have steel drive shafts vs the aluminum tooth picks



yeah think about it ... 360 + a number = one hp amount
380 + the same number = 20 hp more just like before the mods... .wow im impressed again by the logic pouring out of you

 

The first half of you post I agree with because it is what I said earlier...People mod the 99/00 so that they can keep up with the 01/02/03's. Ofcourse you did explain why we make more power but that doesn't change the fact that we do it. As far as your take on the gear ratio thingy let me get YOU straight. Everyone who has dragged raced their L knows that key to a low ET is a good 60'foot. The 1/2/3's have enough hp to pull the numerically bigger gears all the way through the 1/4 !!! Thats the advantage of the additional 35hp. Got that Dammit.

 

I love how you still believe the 01-02 make 380 stock no matter what....thats so ignorant....even if they did and mine only made 340 hp..your still not kicking anyone's ***...its just not that big of a margin to act as if your 01 or 02 has "SOOOO MUCH POWER!", and the margin for driver error is much larger. But whatever, Its not worth my time arguing

 

I prefer the 99/00 style, got 3 sets of them.

 

Back to the wheels....

I like the 01/02's.

If I go for a different set of wheels, I am looking at those 18in Cragar S/S's.

 

Absolutely not!!!!

Good God man, you can pick your teeth with 5" aluminum drive shafts?

Whoa nelly, the restrictions that limits you to a lesser amount of HP in the first place play an even more restrictive roll in a modded L. So it won't be a mere 35hp (or whatever you said) less it will be about 50-60ish less. But you did get the main picture that if you start with more you'll end up with more.

 

******Just wanted to let everyone with 01+02 wheels that I have a set of 00 rims that I would like to trade for the 01+02******

I live In Colorado.
Thanks guys!

 

so tell me something...did you run that 13.07 1/4 time with those mods you listed in your sig?

uh huh...im sorry to tell you this but you have THE SAME ENGINE AS ME...just because ford put a 90mm MAF and tuned the chip to be more agressive doesnt mean you dont have the same damn truck and engine. But like I was saying, your not going to undertstand so forget it already :o .....back to the wheel opinions Im done with this thread

 

Konig it seems as though you've become somewhat unhappy with our conversation. Maybe you missed the very bottom of this post. I was only looking to have a little friendly fun before I leave home for work but if you got pissed then thats no fun. My logic in this entire ordeal has been centered on picking fun with the 99/00 guys. It is well known that these trucks can also haul *** if you have a black one you'll know what I mean.(I hope you saw the humor in that). Anyway scroll down to bottom of my quote I think you missed it.

 

I dont get upset with online conversations...I dont know you well enough to care that much. Its fine if you were just pulling my leg but when you try to support a bs statement with more bs instead of just saying J/K and only J/K..then yeah Im going to speak my mind. Forgive and forget, I may not agree with you but your still part of the L community and have the right to say whatever you want...no hard feelings

 

Absolutely. On F1's. I'll try to scan the timeslip and post it if you want to see it. It was an incredible night. I made 5 passes :13.13 - 13.10 - 13.10 - 13.09 - 13.07 not in that order, I can't remember the order except I ran a 13.10 first and then 13.09 and then 13.07 everything gets cloudy after that. If you want to see the timeslip let me know. I should be able to scan it in tomorrow as I have to leave for work now. Later.

 

Cool and forgive me, my bullshidting ettiquette isn't upto par. I thought my disclaimer would have been clear but I'll revise it to J/K .

 

almost got my attention routed toward another topic as I was reading the responses. But I have cleared my mind.


I like the 01-02 wheels better. If the 99-00 are in chrome, they look much better than the satin silver color.

my ranking
1) 02 Chrome
2) 99 Chrome
3) 02 Silver
4) 99 Silver

 

ok... Since we ARE just having fun... Don't you have enuff savvy to break the quote down to individual topics?

Well... TECHNICALLY speaking... a LOT of 99's and 00's were MODDED b4 the 01-03's came out, so Ford actually ADJUSTED THEM to keep up with the modded 99/00's....

Not after a cone filter and chip... at that point, the hp should be the same. ok... ok... Gotta change the MAF too....

After that you might say well... I'll run a chip too... Well, that doesn't work. I can get the same specs with the tune on my chip as the 01-03 gets with theirs, even with their aftermarket chip.

uhhh... you ARE messed up there... 3.92's and 4.10's make getting the vehicle moving easier. There are MORE engine rev's per wheel revolution. Therefore, since the engine rpm's are practically topped out in the 1/4, my mph will be higher than yours. Put more simply, I'll catch you in the end... ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL.

Why not put any higher ratios? Because there IS a limit. The L is already close with the 3.73's. A smaller wheel and more profile would give better traction, but with 3.92's that smaller diameter tire will have you making lower MPH's and (probably) higher ET's.

It's all give and take...

To further illustrate my point, had you participated in the boards in 99 and 2k, you would know that one of the main topics of discussion was that 4.10's and the smaller diameter drag radials (only thing available at the time) were improving 60 ft's, but with little improvement in ET. Do a search....

Shouldn't there be a question mark after that question? And to answer the question...

NOPE!

 

I think the 99/00 wheels are the best....

And no, I'm not partial anymore... I traded the L on a HD...

The 20" 01/02 chrome replicas are JUST as nice... if not nicer...
