Oh yeah? Trust me when I say, I know the best route.

When you do a lot of business like me and deliver two items per household, (Grit Mag. and local newspaper) you learn the best paper route......buy hey, I get off the line, down the line and to the garage faster with that little Huffy........ it is one mean ******! I even outpedaled the biggest dog on the block! After that covert sprocket change last summer, nothing can keep up with me! Nothing! .....and the modified metalic purple banana seat really turns the ladies on! ......and when I get my learners permit, I will show you all what real tire burning power is!!!!


........your all basta*ds!

 

Finally something we can all agree on!

 

your a damn comdedian

 

i just want to know one thing. where are your numbers iron horse? what do you run in your truck? i know the lightning assembly isnt done but what about the 4.6L with the allen?

 

Wow, look what I started. lol. Well I still don't know what im exactly going to be doin at the end of this summer to 150 but It's gonna be fast. I just put in a good 12hour work day today(Sunday) to get some $$$ in my truck's bank account. Well I guess I'll just have to wait till the funds roll in.

 

Bullitt,

I have never had a dyno, therefore no "numbers". However, I have beaten every truck off the line for at least a one block distance, in my part of the world. Very good for a supercab 4.6 with a used $2500 Allen roots kit. But, I will have to get dyno numbers when I get a tuned chip for the lightning set-up.

Now bullitt, let me ask you a question.........

Do you know a site or source that provides 1/8th and 1/4th mile E.Ts for 97-04 F150s with an ATI kit? Or a source with actual 1/8th and 1/4th mile E.Ts. for the 97-04 F150s with a single Turbo kit?

I would like to compare ACTUAL 1/8th and 1/4th quarter mile runs of 97-04 F150s with an ATI or single turbo against the 1/8th and 1/4th quarter mile runs of 99-04 F150 Lightnings with the lightning oem supercharger assembly. I would like to compare their times and the related mods. There is an existing source for the F150 Lightning oem supercharger assembly at www.nloc.net.

Nloc.net provides a lenghty listing of ACTUAL 1/8th and 1/4th performance of the F150 Lightning oem supercharger assembly and related mods, but I CAN NOT find a similar source for 97-04 F150s using an ATI or single turbo. Do you know where a source of this information is?

 

Yeah, its like that in this forum! haha!

Everyone thinks their system is the "best" and some will try (actually they try and fail) to trash your opinion as well as you as an individual, if your opinion is different from the "herd" or "flock" Sometimes, you get a more honest opinion, if you email or call members.......thats what I did, therefore, my conclusions.

Good luck!

 

well thats the reason i was asking. i have my times and was just wondering what you run. i dont care about dynoes. i was talking about track times.

dont get me wrong. i am a twin screw advocate. i just happen to have an ATI. but more than that i am a turbo advocate. they're hands down the best.

my best time slip is here.

and video of the two best runs is here.

i know about nloc. i'm a member there and hang out a bit there. given the choice i would have done the roots swap, but having the 4.6l limited my choices greatly.

 

Bullitt,

Seriously, considering that you have a 97' NON-PI 4.6 stock engine, that 13.32 with the ATI at 12 psi seems very good to me.

 

Here's a thread from Crash's site that has a bunch of 1/4 & 1/8 miles times and whatnot, mostly for Prochargers and turbos.

Yeah, opinions are like @ssholes, as they say...everyone has one.

Fortune Cookie say:
There is more than one path to your destination.
Lucky Lotto 2,5,18,32,49
Or something like that.

I don't think there's a bad forced-induction setup. Choose what you like and make it work for you.

Just make sure you come back and tell us about how right you are, and how wrong we all are

 

thanks iron horse. i appreciate that. i hope you didnt misunderstand me, not flaming, i just wanted to know if you had times. i know you spend a great deal of times on various forums as a proponent of positive displacement blowers, and just wondered if you yourself raced.

 

Yes, I have "known" you a while and know you are just enjoying your hobby like most of us here.

 

Crash,

As a consumer/member, the actual question to you as a Vendor/member is......

If your ATI (Procharger) was so much "better" than the roots or twinscrew, why did you remove the ATI and replace it with a single turbo, before you finished the ATI project and then if the single turbo was suppose to be so much better than the ATI, why did you not finish the single turbo project? Do you even own a late model F150 anymore? .....well do ya!?! HUH?!? Yeah, I know, you must suffer from A.D.D. as well.

I still have my supercharged F150. I am only swapping a good roots system for a more versatile roots system. Thats whats best for me and my situation. It may not be the best choice for others. However, if someone asks for input on forced induction systems, I am going to provide my input, just like everyone eles and you have no say over the matter.....PERIOD. ...and PERIOD to Infinity and beyond!

 

As of this date, is any 97-04 F150s running as fast or faster than 9.880 sec. in the 1/4 mile with a centrifugal or single turbo? .......anybody? .....NOPE. Quoted from IronHorse.

I dont know where you did your research but I ran an 8.983@81.14 w/ an ati@12#'s in my supercrew 5.4 over a year and a half ago.I know Ive seen others w/centris. post as good or better times.I think you sold yourself the Idea of having"The best s/c in the world" before you even have it together.Im not knocking your choice in your power adder,but the way your ruffling feathers in this hijacked thread,you must be building one hell of a monster.Especially to go after a turbo powered truck.

Good luck
Frank

 

ganiman,

It seems quite impossible to run a 8.983 second 1/4 mile E.T. only reaching a top speed of 81.14 mph. Sorry, but that does not make sense at all. You must mean you went that fast in the 1/8th mile.

This summer, we should see how PSPs single turbo Lightning adapter kit performs against JDMs 3.3 twinscrew Lightning adapter kit.
