Done.

 

I never said my truck would out run a pre 05 mustang lol But FX4 Matt's got a time of 14.5 in his sig. A stock mustang before 05 has trouble running mid 14's just saying there slow from the factory. I didn't hear ya'll bitchin about to the guy with the 07 sc'd harley, racing a 5.7 ram?? Where were ya'll on that one???

Not sayin... just sayin.

 

No need to get bent. We's just having a (spirited) discussion is all. It's OKAY to have different points of view, aight?

And - It ain't over until the Hammer falls

Man your like a politician, pick out bits and pieces of a statement! hahaha

 

Hey.... I resemble that remark.


I'm not being confrutational... but I'm simply pointing out (as George W. would say) "untruths". I personally like the V6 motor. Cant say I'd own one after having a 2005 5.4L and a 2002 4.6L but I'm sure that the 2004+ V6 would eat my 2002 4.6's ***.

 

I aint bent man. It is ok to have different views as long as everyone is trying to gang up on me. I get it. its immature to race. i got it. it was like 3am, no one is out and its a secluded road. i wasn't drinkin either. and my top speed is about 80 cause i hit my limiter and its not that fast just quick acceleration. I put the thread was over cause that seems like thats all ya'll wanna talk about. but it can be over i just wanted to share my original post.

 

i miss my 5.4. but my 4.6 can def out run it now.

 

I miss mine as well. I had a beautiful MWB 2005 Lariat Ext. Cab with the 5.5' bed in 2wd. I stupidly sold it and replaced it with a Supercrew XLT 4x4 2002. God... what I would do for my Lariat back.

 

Yeah thats how i felt for the longest time about my 98 5.4, and still sometimes.
I decided not to worry about it anymore. Just gonna build the **** out of what i got and hold on to it until it dies. lol It's funny someone mentioned PI heads up there. I'm lookin for a set to come around. my non pi block, with pi heads will raise my compression and hopefully put me over 300 by a pretty decent margin. I've heard 60-70hp gain. That eases the pain of me giving away my 98 5.4 for 2500..sorta.

 

FATHERFORD was here...

 

Hey.

that was me.

And the PI upgrade was more than just heads:

" ...upgrades which included cylinder heads with improved port and combustion chamber designs, a more aggressive cam profile, and improved intake manifolds . This upgrade was known as the PI (Performance Improved) package."

As such the spec went from 220 HP / 265 TQ, to 231 HP / 293 TQ ( at the crank, BEFORE factoring in the ~25-30% driveline loss)

So - you'll have to walk me through the math, because I don't think 300 HP is achieveable with a head swap on the 4.6 with yer current mods.

Perhaps an engine guru could help me here? Fatherford? TJ? Jbrew? GLC? What would he have to do to get 300 @ the crank, all motor?

Thanks!

I'm an ***! But I wanna learn, so I can be a SMART*** !

I am going to show my ignorance and lack of knowledge here. What does the "pi" stand for ?
