hey tj, and everyone else,

got my truck put on the dyno this morning....and got around what i expected.

154.07 rwhp 200.18 rwtq

the guy told me that that wasnt the max amount, that because i have an automatic, and the speed limiter is still active, i was cut short about 10-15 rwhp and 10-15 rwtq. so this summer im getting a diablosport tuner and gonna have gear heads tune everything for me. im trying to scan the printout onto my computer, but its not cooperating. so there is an (almost) base line for future mods.

 

Damn I'm good! just under my 155 guess.


Now get a tuner. I dont know how much the diablo is but my Xcal kicks the crap out of a diablo.

I can't seem to find any diablos for anything under 04.

 

really? i lookd on ebay, and find a couple for 99-03 F150, Expidition, etc for about $315 with like $12 shipping. the guys at gear heads, the place in south arlington where i got the dyno, said they got them for $400 and would do a custom tune and dyno it to get the most power out of it.

 

Yea, but how many have they bought/sold for a 4.2? and how many have you found for a 4.2?

 

i was told that diablo didnt make a tuner for the 4.2l

ive got a diablo chip.

diablo, sniper, sct... there all good but there only as good as the tuner whos doing the tuning.

I prefer SCT...

 

the guy that owns the place that dynoed my truck yesterday said they could do it. and he knows that i have a 4.2 because they kinda snickered when they opened the hood. but im going to look around this summer, and then take it to them when i come back to school and have them tune it.

 

wow y would they snicker???? your truck looks awesome!!! the only thing i dislike about it is the automatic... they need to not snicker lol im surre it looks way better then what they got!!! lol

 

well i followed 2 GTOs that laid down 300 rwhp. they specialize in mustang performance, so it was unusual to see a V6 f150 in their shop getting a dyno. a high school kid followed me and laided down 326 rwhp in his SS camaro. so i looked VERY put of place.

 

lol oic... well they still shouldent laugh lol... like i sadi i bet it looks way better then whatever they drive.

 

nope....not really...that have SO SVT cobras in that shop, that i thought id died and gone to heaven. but thanx for the cheer up. it will be a bad@$$ truck one of these days.

 

wow thats cool... im sure it will... u should keep posting pictures of it along the way to the BA truck!!!

 

it'll be a few years. trust me. going to school to be an architect is cheap. im driving this truck until i have enough $$$ to get something else, then saving the 4.duece for a project truck.

 

what numbers did your truck make?

 

11111

 

ah, guess i could have read that.
