Huitt24; so what was said above, that the roush charger is only good to 16lbs. Then it will create too much heat? What if you had a bigger heat exchanger on the intercooler. Could you turn up the boost?
I seen you are running 4.30 gears, would you sugest them, as we have same size wheels and tires? Or would you go with 4.10 or 4.56's?

 

yea it works now that I am home, the computers at work suck, thats the supercharger I have, the only thing in his package has that I don't have is the exhaust but its going in in March plus some other goodies.

 

Rambo sweet a** truck!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats what my truck looks like now after my 2-4 drop and I put on 22". I'm wanting to black out my bumpers and lights, with the only thing chrome will be my wheels and maybe my grill

 

You can put 14 heat exchangers on there, after about 16# you going to loos power because the blower will make more heat then power...lol
If your gonna run your truck on a 1/4 mile track, I wouldn't go any higher then 4.10 gears. Unless your not planing on going much over 100 MPH.

 

thanks for the compliments.Yours is nice too.

Mine started as fx2 model so it came with the painted bumpers and stuff from the factory. I added the roush supercharger and roush suspension kit and stuff. The wheels are 20 in' aftermarket ( I can't think off the brand though)
I'll think of that later....oh well

Since yours has the stripe it might look better left chrome. Itr kinda finishes out the stripe front and rear.I bought a full set of stripes top and side to put on mine. After some carefull thought I decided to leave it all black.

 

Yea I've been kinda trying to decide if I do really wanna paint my bumpers. I'm affraid if I get new bumpers and stick them on, step back and look at it. I'm not sure if I would like it with the side stripe. I have seen a maroon 500RC with painted bumpers, with the side strip and it looked good. But I'm not so sure on black.

 

I am pretty much at the limit on my blower, I am thinking of putting a stock lightning upper pulley and that will be as far as I can take it and still be efficiant. The other thing I have thought of doing was a 50-75 shot of NOS to give it a boost and act as a intercooler at the strip.

I chose the 4.30 gears at the time because I was towing a 8Klb boat and my 3.55's were not cutting it. I run at the drag strip but on street tires so I dont have the best 60' times. If you mainly run on the street I would suggest the 4.10's. I am thinking of swapping out my rear for my wifes 3.73 so I can run a drag slick at the track because most slicks or DR's are in the 26" range with a few maybe 28". With tires that small the 4.30's for me at the strip are to tall and I would be at my rev limit in 3rd gear before the 1/4 was done.

 

huitt24; have you thoght about doing a water- methanol kit from snow performance? As far as I've read on it, the water cools the intake charge air temps around 40-60 degrees, and the methonal increases your octane rating. You would have to retune your engine, but since your octane would be up, the say with a 50-50 mix of H20-meth. Your octane rating can go as high as 116 octane so in turn the can put a lot more of your timing back in your motor. An everyone knows, with more timing and the same boost, you gain more HP. I would bet with a good dyno tune, you could gain anywhere from 40-100hp just depends. But thats what i've read. Here's a link for you to read. Plus I find all the article good to read also.

The water-meth inj. I think would be alot safer than nos. But thats just IMO!!! Plus with the wtare-meth inj. you get to feel the power all the time, instead of when you push the button.

I would ask some one like Mike Troyer, Tuners at JDM, VMP tuning or other good tuners in your area, about the inj. and turnig up your boost even more than you think you can cause the water part cools the ITC by like 60 degrees. I'm really leaning that way after I buy a built block.

 

I get mixed reviews on the water/meth. Troyer turns me away from it but my engine builder says use it. So I may look at that option when JDM comes to town next.

 

Not sure if this is still relevant but when my 08 F150 supercab 2WD drive was brand new I lived in VA and took it to Troyer for a Roush I/C, exhaust, dynatech LT's, dual electric fans, and high flow cats with everything else being stock I made 380rwhp/419rwtq BUT that was with an upgraded SC pulley that Mike recommended not the stock Roush one which makes about 6lbs so my truck is at 8/8.5lbs on boost with that setup and being that nothing else was done to it. I can upgrade the SC pulley again as well bringing it into the 10lb area that Mike recommends not to take any further on the stock motor but if I do then a bigger fuel pump system is necessary. Hope this helps.

 

Meth injection is awesome but most tuners won't do it via data log. Most tuners require you to run a more expensive failsafe Meth kit incase you run out of Meth. Then and only then will they tune it by dyno tune

 

Yeah, meth kits are a good boost but don't go to crazy with the timing.
I blew the head gaskets on my stock motor because of the meth kit pump stopped working! ):
