What mods are already done? I see exhaust on your other thread... Not to familiar with the roush package... Any air intake, tuner? 5.4L I assume, right?

He would have to running a RoushCharger to be making those numbers. Or a similiar blower...

I am not aware of a one piece driveshaft you are speaking of Roush but nor have I researched it. I know it is a somewhat common upgrade for the S197 platform as it drops 30lbs of rotational mass.

It has the roushcharger package(supercharger, intake, intercooler) the exhaust, 3.73s, and a very conservative tune. and yes the 5.4L

correct, i did the one peice driveshaft on both my S197s and thought that would be even more useful on the F150 since its driveshaft is even heavier.

Very cool!! What about a more in dept tuner? I know SCT XCal tuners can tune tranny and engine (or at least they can for F250s)... That way you don't fry your tranny...

ya, im looking at getting a troyer tune or maybe a custom dyno tune. My GFs dad had a Nitemare before but got rid of it and he still had his SCT so he gave it to me. I think I have to send it in to SCT and pay $150 to have it reset since his old tune is on there still and you have to hook it up to the original truck to reset it.

Cams, heads, long tube headers with x-pipe and high flow cats, more agressive tune, traction bars (no hp or torque...but it will get the power to the ground and keep it there), larger tires on rear (same as traction bar reasoning), and some tranny work....all I can think of right now...

I bought mine used and used a popular F250 guy to tune mine... He just needed info from my truck and tuner then sent the tunes to me thru email and it was done... I only got 2 tunes and paid 30each...

yup thats similar to troyer, send the tuner to him with info on your truck and he put the custom tunes on there and sends the tuner back to you.
