sorry guys i got rid of the ford. it takes to much money time and effort to make power. i got me a srt 10 i put a roe,sc on it, long tube headers, high flow cats and magna flow cat back,b@m short throw shifter,forged pistons,rods,clutch upgrade,light weight fly wheel, 4:56 gears. what more im pressive a 720 rwhp truck or a ford that can bairly push its own wait after $10,000. sorry i still like fords but the power out put for the money just is not good. my truck will beat a zo6 i have proven it 6 times this week, my ford could not even beat a dam acura rsx.

 

Great... I'm a Dodge guy, ex Ford owner, But allow me to point out a few things. The Ford 5.4 is not built for high end Horse power, but for low to mid range torque and your verry silly to compare a 5.4 to a viper engine.

Even the Ford guys are going to admit thiers no why a stock 5.4 3v can come close to a stock SRT 10.

Thiers no why your going to beat zo6 corvette's and the acura rsx has a higher h/p to whiegt than a F-150 and the SRT 10 is not built for day to day truck stuff.

I only envy your pocket book, not your ride.

 

i tow my motorcycles around just fine in my truck. bottom line is when you mess with anything weather it be a 5.4 or a v10 the truck slowly stops being a truck. theres nothing more im presive than seeing truck beat a z06. in order to make a 5.43v stand up to a truck like mine you will need a wallet deeper than mine. i just got sick of how hard it was to make decent power out of a 5.4. it just took to muck work. still like fords though. i saw a post a wile back a guy put a gt40 motor in his truck all kinds of money time and work he got his truck back a year later it was only making 500 or 550 hp. that to me is waist and to much time. cool truck though

 

Ford has taken a gaint leep backwards with the 5.4 3v, I agree thier and I have ranted enough on Ford of late, What kills any ultra high performance h/p with the 5.4 is the automatic, but this helps the truck tow better, so they say.

The viper engine is a animal, no aurgument thier, Ford has nothing current to match it, my 5.7 hemi 6 sp is as strong as the v/10 6sp from Ford, but I;m not a truck racer, I need the torque for hauling towing.

Perhaps Ford is putting thier performnace asperations into the new 6.4 power stroke and has lost interest in playing in the high performnace 1/2 ton market

 

Impress us and show us a video.

 

+1 It doesnt sound like money was an issue, you just wanted a dodge or you could have bought a lightning and made it faster for less $$

 

hahahahaha i was waitin for it lol

 

me to. I'm surprised it took that long.

 

Even as a Ford fan I like the SRT-10 quite a bit. I was a Dodge fan before I was a Ford Fan and really like the styling of that truck. Lets face it you can always spend less and do the same. A lightning will not turn heads like the SRT-10. Part of this is status and the man has the money so lets stop busting his *****

 

Like said if I took what you spent and put it into my L you'd cry as I passed you, while looking better too.. haha

You can't compare a stock F150 to a SRT. If you are talking $ to $ factor in the cost of the truck!

The 5.4 is a great motor and the 3V has plenty of potential. The problem is the new truck's weight. And even still The 5.4 has potential that you just haven't seen yet.

Blah, blah, blah. Watch out for the L's!

 

I disagree!

 

Me too, that is a matter of opinion, well a fact actually.

 

hahaha + 1 on that Joey.
I bet my Supercrew will run circles around that srt what??? lol

Well to each his or her own. I see lightnings on a regular basis, dont bother to look twice. I see a SRT-10 maybe once a month and usually pay more attention. The lightining is a nice ride, but if offered the keys to either no questions asked I wouldnt be turning a ford key
