Efin sweet BF. And yeah, that's exactly why I think it Bad***** when folks find a way to make them go fast! Nothing's better than a sleeper... and a big ol' truck that hauls ***** that no one expects to be fast is the sweetest thing out there.

I miss my diesel f250. I had it tuned up pretty good
With a contractor cap and at stock height, I looked like a old man carpenter. The only thing that gave it away was my nearly bald rear tires and my dual exhaust. I had the tips tucked up under the rear fenders behind the tires....real sleeper look. I had it dynoed once and if I remember correctly, I think it was pushing around 450-475hp and 700-750ft lbs. It was fast off the line and loud as hell.
I'd love to do a supercharger on my 150, but too much money. I'll just wait and buy another diesel in a couple years

Well I'm about as blue collar as you can get. I worked building boats for ten years and now run a property damage restoration biz. Cut lawns in my spare time for the play money. No shop built my truck. I did it myself. Started with a Whipple and then added,
Dynotech Headers longtubes ceramic coated
Magnaflow hi flow cats, muffler
Xpipe
170 t-stat
HTO plugs
Pillar gauge pop with af meter and boost gauge. Tranny temp coming soon.
Driveshaftspecialist Driveshaft to handle the power
Fore precision fuel system with twin 255lph pumps (only part not installed by me as it requires custom tuning to even start the truck after install. Done by Troyer)
95mm Maf and 39lb injectors
Retro fitted 2010 F150 efans to my truck
Built tranny and 3500 Circle D stall converter
Custom fitted dual air to water coolers for the intercooler on the blower
10psi pulley
Custom tunes from Troyer performance.
Over the holidays I'll be adding 4.11 Yukon gears and traction bars. Sure I've forgotten some stuff but that's the basics. Should run 12.8 next spring. We shall see.

Keep at it man. I got much more respect for those that do thier own mods. Although, not everyone has the ability or tools to do thier own. But being a wrench monkey, I like doing my own stuff. This way I know EXACTLY what I've got in it.

"back in the day" I knew a guy who put a Caddilac 500" in his '67 chevy 2WD. That thing would disappear in the smoke cloud from the burnouts. Gas was only .25 a gallon of course.

It truely sadens me that I missed out on that generation of muscle cars which has now been replaced by rice burners. I wish it were that easy now a days to just swap a big motor into a small, light weight car and destroy everything in sight. The days of the back yard mechanic and weekend warrior is fading fast. Seems like we can barely do anything now days to our vehicles with out special tools and manual thicker than a copy of War and Peace.
