My "new again" F150

[77REBELBOWTIE]

Now I know where all that money I give the orthodontist every month for my boys braces goes.

I hear you. Doesn't look like it's going to school loans. LOL.

I'm a chevy man, but will give anyone credit for doing a tasteful or badass customizing. Horsepower ain't doing anything if you can't get it to the ground. Keep working on it.

I'm just stimulating the economy and redistributing wealth via the private sector School loans are long gone; but they were alot! 2012 dental school grads had an avg of $203K debt for 4 yrs of school - the ortho deserves his fees!

That is probably the cleanest garage floor I have seen in my life.

Nice truck too!

You want it to get to 600hp?
Sell it and get a Vette.

Wanna see burnouts

No burnouts - not with new Nitto's!! I decided on new stage 2 cams and 2 more lbs of boost - that will put me at about 10lbs. With another tune, that should get me over 400rwhp and rwtq (about 550 at the flywheel). The cams should add about 20-25 in the midrange and the boost should add another 20. Alas, I have given up on my quest for 600, as I now realize I will need an entire new lower half blueprinted engine for that (in addition to shedding weight) - I'm not ready for that on a daily driver, I enjoy my a/c seats, sunroof, tonneau cover, etc... too much. Parts on order, should be installed in the next month. I will try and get a dyno video / results. The Whipple is badass!! The sound is like a personal orchestra everytime I drive. I have my own personal TopGear sounds - everyday!! I did have an issue with the belt - it was rubbing a little on the engine coolant hose (just barely rubbing), had to add a stainless steel hose insert to stiffen the hose and prevent expansion in that area during heat / cooling periods. Stainless Works headers made this truck breath like a race horse. This engine sucks airs with the new headers!!! It is amazing how restrictive factory parts are!
