Take a close look at the crankshaft on the V10. It uses a split crank journal configuration. This makes for a weaker crankshaft. Add to that the extra strain of a blower and you are inviting failure.

PS. I still want one.

You're point is? The 5.4 was made for trucks as well but you have a lot of options when it comes to upgrading it for power.

Yeah he claims his little 4.6 runs 14.90, yet he doesnt dare show us any time slips to prove us wrong. he is all talk about his truck and besides he got kicked off the track and not because he had his ac on as he claims, and the only he claims he runs a 14.90 my first pass ever not full throttle and very slow reaction time, is because i told him I (Tara) had run a 14.90 in my harley truck. He jealous, I bet if I told him I ran a 10.4 the next day he will say he ran a 10.4 loser...

face it you know nothing about anything especially about the waste gate, and just like Neal said you dont have a clue about anything you talk about so until then, I have some advice for you, until you know what the hell you are talking about, go away and play with your toys

That's a good plan built54.

Faster150, sounds like a challenge. Are you going to man-up?

I'm going to bet on the "stroked 4.6"

im willing to race em. but its a long drive for something like this. i guess im not old enough to be as arrogant as some of u to really care peoples opinions of some guys on a truck forum. but to each his own. this is fun to argue

Fun (ny) it is.

I'm thinking the only arrogance around here is your lack of respect for everyone else in posting all the misinformation you do.

Faster not trying to be a jerk but you really can't compare your truck to built54's.You both have the same cab right??The thing is built54's is a 4x4 with big a$$ tires and rims!!!!You have a 2x4 with stock rims and tires right??If you were to bolt those tires and rims on your truck i would be willing to bet it wouldn't get out of its own way
If ya'll decide to race please get video of it

ok faster, no reason to **** talk me. I guarantee you your truck is at LEAST 1000lbs lighter than mine, I have 33x20's that weigh 95lbs each, over 200lbs in sway bars and ladder bars, and well over a 100lb gooseneck hitch in the bed.
