That's a crazy difference. I need to look into doing that. I was just planning on building a forged bottom end, trick flow heads, some cams with a little better mid to top end but not crazy, probably stock or a little higher than stock CR. And then maybe add boost down the road. If I can hit 350 at the crank with no boost and it still be a reasonable build I would probably be happy.

That's around what Neal (the hp freak) got out of his NA. 360hp w/similar build. Actually, he posted he got 360 on just seven cylinders lol. Yea right, -but that's what he dyno'ed at NA. Can't recall the build, I think you and I talked about this before. Your familiar w/Neal's build correct?

I referring to what you have currently. Tires, wheels and lift. Those pics you just posted in the other thread are very nice.
I haven't seen many Lariats with the gold on the bottom, but the ones I have seen stuck out. Glad you went back to it. All white was just to plain. I wanted to do something different when I repainted but couldn't put my finger on it. It just clicked seeing your pics lol. Now I have something providing a bit more ambition I guess...so that with a kick in the *** I'll be good!

I know he had builder issues definitely. Hey what lift do have and tires and rims real quick. Not many are set up as perfect as yours. I look through your build, you most likley have in this book somewhere lol.

Yea if a suspension wasn't so pricey, I'd go with 4" RC. I think it's Rough County that's produced that way ? Regardless , figured that would be choice only because it's a 4-5", 5" if you crank the T bars 4" to keep factory pre-load. 4" is about perfect w/35's. That sit like yours is right now I expect but at factory pre-load...I hope lol!
Oh it's a tan, I heard gold, think someone else mention gold in another post, other thread. I'll have to find out which tan they used. Ford painted that color on a few on them down low. Looks great and I like white as well. Looking at your earlier pics when it was all white (plastic coated or whatnot) then looking at it now, I tell yuh, that tan really makes it look that much better than it already was. Looks even better with those Pines in the background and your arsenal against the tailgate, that's some bad as ordinance you have there mister lol.

I can't remember off the top of my head what the gold/tan is called. I wish I went with a 4 inch suspension. Just to pricey. 200 for a body lift or 1000 for a suspension lol. I have an add a leaf in the rear and drop shackles to keep it level. if CV axles and ball joints wernt an issue I would crank the front up more and put the stock shackles back on for another inch of lift, but I don't want to do that to my front end haha.

Got my front windows tinted to Match the rear the other day, think they did like 20 or 25%. I also have some 1.75 inch bora wheel spacers on the way. Still considering maybe going up another 4 inches, just don't want it to look goofy with only 35s
