so i went to the track tonight, and i keep getting my *** kicked by a light modded Harley F-150. guy keep talking **** saying i should have bought a real truck. so what do i need. do any of the non Troyer programers give good hp upgrade? i have a K&N intake, and 3" muffler back that im sure doesn't do much. i keep taking him off the line but one top of 1st was done he was gone ......trying to stay N/A

 

A LOT...

For starters, what are the spec's of your truck?

 

well its on 02 F-150 5.4. it runs a 16.2 in the 1/4 but he didn't beat me more then maybe a truck and a half. i just have an Intake and Muffler back. and i ordered the spacer, i know it won't do anything,but just for kicks to get that supercharger sound they say they give you. Oh does the Fan Mod make a big differnce

 

you need one of the new gt500s

 

What's the Harley have in it - some have regular 5.4L's - nothing special.

 

Thottle Body Spacer ? hmmm lol

 

i know it was supercharge. i heard the damn thing then i saw his hand go , i know he had intake and exhaust

 

Then alls you need is this -



Lightning does strike TWICE!!

 

thats great, but not will to trade in my low milage truck for a high mileage lightning. already though about that on my way home,but i wanna know what i can do to my truck. you guys are making me feel like theres no hope in hell but supercharging it. do i have to save my pennys now?

 

Seriously Buck you have two choices with your truck -

1. A total rebuild with the best machining and parts out there. Like Neals NA Build.(difficult, but possible)

2. Procharger - $5500.00(exspensive , but easy)

 

Check ebay for new engine take off superchargers. Thats what I did. Can get away with a supercharger and kit from MAD for around $3000. Mad gives you a complete list of the items you need to switch over and offers the kit at a very resonable price.
Ebay Supercharger: Supercharger

Mad's kit: http://www.madenterprise.com/scparts.htm

 

You would still need the intercooler and hoses- a tune, some of the other stuff he listed as well not included in the price given.

I would budget closer to 4000 to be safe, for that procedure.

I think that's pretty cool tho , I haven't seen Mad enterprizes - didn't know they were out there.

Question is , what are the gains ? After doing that , would that be a lightning replica as far as power?

It looks a hell of lot nicer than a Procharger IMO. You don't NEED a tune with the two core , but you'll want one later.

Personaly I would rather go with the that kit - It's made for the motor and made by Ford.

Thanx for the info..

 

200 shot should have you ahead if it was really only a length and a half....

but my guess is you will be neck and neck with the 150 or 200 shot.

You can also do things to reduce your race weight that will help, take the tail gate off, spare off etc...

Length and a half ? Nahhh

 

i beat a s/c harley in my truck a few years back several times.. the guy was perplexed when i told em i had a 4.6 with bolt ons. this was before headers and ported intake. so u shouldnt need much to beat one of those heavy beasts
