I'm going to speak with them to see what they can do for the F150s. I've ran their products before on LS powered trucks. Good driveshafts.
I'm guess your referencing if I'll be running a PD style blower? I've almost always ran stalls on boosted applications. Now most of those were LS powered trucks or the 2 auto Mustangs I had. Those setups were running turbo or Prochargers though.

I dunno, some of the Mustangs with centris are pulling very respectable 60's with the stock converter and gear even. I think the 4.17 1st gear makes up for a lot. Also, I would worry about trans (eh, used to call it a tranny....thanks Bruce) temp while towing.

I do love the way the centris pull. I have thought about the trans temp while towing but honestly I don't tow heavy. The most I would be pulling would be an 18ft bass boat or flats boat. I can almost tow my duck boat with a bicycle.
A lot of things are still up in the air with this build as far as power goes. There are a lot of options and finding that perfect mix between daily driver and fast track truck can be tough. That's part of the reason I've been so hesitant on pulling the trigger on certain items. I do know I'm trying to get my suspension and other little things in order before I install any power adder.

Just a little update, nothing has changed appearance wise. I've been waiting for a while on parts(intake/tune). I decided to hold off on headers until I can make some final decisions which direction the truck is headed. I've been trying/waiting to get it tuned for 3 weeks now. Maybe that's a sign that it doesn't need to be tuned.

So apparently JLT doesn't ship during SEMA week. UPS shows the X4 was delivered last Friday but we can't locate it. Checked with neighbors and a family that has the same address as us except for one word in the street name. No sign of it anywhere. LET is helping though. Should have another X4 here this Friday.
