hey guys,

i would like to know what kind of 1/4 times the guys who have the vortech blower on the 4.2L are running? i have not seen very many people who have it in the first place...but anyone who does or who knows i would really like to find out. thanks.

 

i think the problem is that there are not that many to speek of. crash said on ran away from a 5.4 so it moves

 

only a 5.4!! geeze, i wanna hear some stories about killen supercharged 5.4's. aka L's!

 

Well I don't think any of v6ers are quite up to the task of killin an L. Xanman (who is running a custom powerdyne setup with 12lbs of boost) thinks he should be around mid 14s, maybe a little lower with some more tuning.He does have a 4x4, so maybe Low 14s are possible for the vortech owners that have swapped out pulleys and upped their boost to 12lbs.......Crash your thoughts???????????/

 

Crash does not have 1/4 mile numbers on the autonet kit yet, unless there is another supercharged 4.2 that I dont know about. I would say the Autonet kit runs mid 15s on an automatic transmisson truck. Havent really gotten to a track yet to run it But after I get done with a couple of mods including a slight increse in the boost I am hoping to be in the high 14s.

Key word "hoping"

 

Well guys it looks like I will never know how the autonet kit runs, I traded in my y2k on a y2k superduty w/ the 5.4L.HMmmmmmm, maybe I should start picking Neals brain...........right now it is totally stock.......Basic bolt ons and some Neal magic could do this truck some good....... My house is comming along quite nicely and it looks like I will be done with it by Sept (barring any unforseen problems)HMMMMMMM.........$200,000 house on 26acres that I only owe $29,000 on .....looks like an equity loan could get me all the goodies for the 5.4.......

 

HI!... "NEAL'S NOT HOME RIGHT NOW, BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK A H.P QUESTION, PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AFTER THE BEEP.........................BEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!

 

I just had to say that either T.V. just does not have any good shows anymore or I am getting to obssesive with my truck, because, I am having more fun reading, responding and laughing at the various posts on this site and spend more time on this site lately, than watching T.V.

 

I agree with Iron Horse, I don't even hardly watch the T.V. anymore all I can think about is coming home and getting on F-150 online and looking at the Superchargers Forum!

 

Neal you crack me up.......The superduty isn't stock anymore:I now have a home made intake kit........Hmmmmmm Vacation checks at work are coming up:cat back exhaust, headers? Have to await and see

I really don't have time to do alot of the mods you have done, between my job,building the house, and my daughter.If you don't mind, could you please shoot me some mail about some of the easier things you have done (I already plan on porting out the stock throttle body this weekend)

The superduty 5.4 is set up a little different than the F150 5.4 not much but a few things here and there.
