He is somewhere around 700 rwhp, I don't know the exact number. But, a 3600 lb street car, leaving at idle and hitting mid 130's mph, should be about 760-780 HP? I haven't checked my power speed calculator, so don't hold me too that.

With sc I could race some modded mustangs. Still havent raced a eb but I dont want that war coming to this thread.
Your mods must really make a difference, because mine is set up like yours, and it's a pig.

For starters your 4x4 where I'm 2wd but I dont really think thats too much difference. Stock I could beat my dads car to 80mph, but we havent got to race since modding. Hopefully we can next weekend. I know I will win because at this 1/8th mile ish track can only get up to 75 mph. I can deffinetly feel the mods picked up some power and its awesome to see the looks on these guys faces that see the biggest f-150 that some know is a "work truck" racing their "street truck" that are lighter and what they thought was faster. Its priceless. But I would highly recommend the boss kit from 5star unless you want a supercharger, which is on my wish list for a few years down the road.

Nothing yet, but I havent called anyone on this. They just copied the #'s from the mustang kit, and I dont believe them for the truck kit. On their kit for the 5.4 its making gains of like 145/150 hp/tq. I see it making more torque than 75. If those numbers are true I dont see buying it because you can probably get that much out of boss intake, cai, headers, maybe throttle body, and a tune. I hope they update those numbers for the truck or else I might be going with a vortech/procharger that I could still use my boss intake for. Look at the numbers they are making with those and a boss on mustangs. Its crazy. But I wont be doing any of this for a while it sucks being a college student with seasonal work and paying for everything yourself.
