Plus, who wants to throw 85lb chunks of wood up 17 feet into the back of a truck.


Off to the mother-in-laws. You guys have a good day.

 

Yeah yeah yeah John. 17 feet in the air. The weather is better up here anyways and I get to look down on you minions

Anyway, here are the final pics of the tree, because I know how much you like them,





Another special thanks goes out to Corey, Justin's bro who you guys met at the QSL outing we had this summer. If you ever wanted to know why people want a 350 over a 150 look at the stance of that truck. It didn't sink down at all when we put like a ton in the back


There, I'm done, no more I promise. I think

 

Well the Whipple's mine! I'm gonna pick it up from the guy first week of November. So freakin excited!!! I don't know if I can wait all winter to put it on, it's gonna be tough

 

Make sure the plugs in the kit are your style, his trucks is an 08 and they changed the plugs to a new design to prevent breakage and they are not backwards compatible. If the kit has the new style, just pick up a set for the older 3v heads, heat range 0. Are going to run the stock whipple tune or are you going custom? I would run the whipple tune until spring, then either go to that shop out in norwalk or make the 6 hour drive down to troyer in VA

Another option is install the kit with the whipple tune, and get a 3" upper pulley and a set of #39 injectors and install them in the spring with the custom tune.

 

Good to know, thanks. I probably won't even put it on until the Spring. I think I'm going to take it down to Troyer and have him tune it. I'm thinking that I definitely want to run it at 10PSI which means a new pulley and injectors for sure. Whipple's 10psi kit is $899 but I'm not sure what it includes. If it's just injectors and a pulley I will definitely get it elsewhere for cheaper.

 

All you need for the 10# upgrade is injectors and a pulley.

whipple 6 rib pulleys http://www.lethalperformance.com/05-...pulley-p-15041

If you go with just the 39#'s and a 3.00 or 3.125 pulley your looking at less than 400 to bump up to 10# then another 400-450 for the custom tunes plus dyno time.

 

Lethals website says that a 3.00 is 13-14 and 3.125 is 12-13. Will it actually run at those levels or will it be a little lower?

I see a few people talking about doing the 95mm Cobra MAF's too. Would that do a lot for the truck if I'm at 10lbs?

 

You get that much boost on the smaller 4.6 in the stangs, when you put them on a larger 5.4 you get about 10-11 lbs, also I think the stangs have a 7" lower while the trucks have a 6.875" lower. The whipple comes with a 90mm MAF and your throttle body is only a 75mm so any upgrade to the MAF is pointless, your TB is the choke point. Before you ask, BBK makes an 80mm drive by wire TB, but they may have durability issues. If you crank it up to say 15# or more then you will need to convert to the oval TB from the stang/GT 500 and a larger MAF to handle the airflow.

 

The guy from whipple got back to me. The 10 PSI kit includes the pulley, injectors, 95mm MAF housing, reducer hose kit and PCM reflash. I definitely think I'll do it on my own especially since I'm gonna have it dyno tuned anyway. What is the reducer hose kit, any idea? Not sure what that is at all.

 

Never heard of a reducer hose kit. I'd just get the pulley and injectors and take it to troyer for the tune.

 

Not as exciting at BAD DRVR's Lumber Jacking skills, but if any of you guys know of anyone looking for a Roush powered 4x4 SCrew I just put mine in the Classified section. Its time for something different.
