I have a 2004 5.4 with a k&n intake flowmaster exhast and a new motor about 10 thounds k on it now. MY brother has the same truck just with a s&b intake and it has the stock muffler chopped. We raced the other day and he was about 2 truck lenghts infront of me. I am just wondering if this is because the my motor is still breaking in?

Thanks

 

Rear gear ratios are different

 

nope the trucks are identical except his is silver. haha

 

He got the jump, hit the peddle faster, drives better, less gas in the tank, less weight (person, tools, etc) etc etc. Any programmers involved?

 

Oh, silver paint is faster

 

i had an edge tunner in with lvl 2 but i have been having troubles with it. sometime it will work and other times it makes my truck a snail. I do better with my truck stock sometimes.

 

Better reaction, better driver, who knows?

 

Ya we raced many times and we had the same result each time.

 

His truck was built on a Wednesday.

 

he poured Red Bull in his tank.

 

Put your EDGE on level 3, put only 2 gallons in the tank to save weight, take out the spare tire and jack, and shoot up meds that make everything slow down. If you still lose then he has done something more and probably has a high gear ratio.

 

verify the axle codes and get back to us.

 

X2! Its the only stock option that would explain the race differences.

 

Red bull sounds like a good idea H9 is both of our axle codes

 

Flowmaster = Slowmaster. It trades low end torque for noise.
