lol ya goober my hope is if it works as intended with the hp ratings and gear ratios i think im gonna have. i will stomp all over them at sub 100mph. and i will probably snap a lot of stuff and get some oohs and ahhs in the 4x4 scene. it already crawls pretty good for being stiff legged.

Jbrew.. Don't know about Royalblue150 and his ride taking you. Sorry I have to dissagree about a modded 4.6 not taking you out of the hole. Aint gonna happen against my 4.6 which is also in a 4x4 if your 5.4 is stock. Way too much power difference between the 2

You give me any 4.6 truck out there, $2,000 for parts (almost $400 just in gaskets!), and I will give you back a truck that will absolutley rip the ***** off any stock 5.4 truck out there, 2v,3v, or even 4v in any way you can think of. Hole shot, top-end, etc.
It's not hard.
It's just a matter of putting the right parts in the right places and a little grinding and polishing here and there.

Nah, not out torqing me from the hole bud - not possible unless you have wheels spining already not with my gearing - I could be hooked to a stump and pull you with that stump dangling behind.
You can't make enough power until you get the revs up - it's just a known fact.
No offense
