Of powa and fast vehicles!
Putting the Mustang on hold for another project. Supercharging my F150. I just got out of a Duramax that was putting down about 500whp and 1,000 ft lbs tq. Switched to the F150 because they are more comfortable, more room, and the 2500 was only a 2x4 and traction was a bad issue. The new diesels are insanely priced now too, so I won't be buying a diesel again for a very long time.
So the modding has been happening this week. I stopped posting over on the F150 forums because I got shit every time I Posted anything about wanting to get power and some performance out of my truck. So, I figured I would bring it over to where people appreciate all things performance. THis is my DD. I have two little girls that I haul around, and I need a truck to do some light pulling, but at the same time, I wanted to my it a bunch of fun to drive as well.
The day I brought her home.
First thing is first. My little girls couldn't get in to the truck, so side steps were a priority.
Truck is currently in the garage having the supercharger installed.
Had a bit of a hang up because ROUSH sent two upper left intercooler brackets and we are missing an upper right bracket. Trying to rig something up for now so that we can get this at least driveable. Hopefully they over night it to me, but the customer service guy said it will be up to the warehouse. Huh?
Wheels and tires should be arriving next week. Going with Hostile Hammered in chrome 20x10s and Nitto 420S in 305/50-20. That set up shouldn't give me much of an issue of rubbing.
I haven't decided what I want to do after this. Might get a cat back for an exhaust note, and when I am ready to do a custom tune, perhaps headers. The tuning will just be the ROUSH calibrations for now, since it's a brand new truck and want to make sure to work the bugs out of her before voiding my warranty completely.
