I got this truck a couple of years ago. The truck had 70,000 miles on it and already had some cool things done to it. First of all, it was a Tuscany Truck, meaning the it had a lot of modifications done by Tuscany. The list of the things that they did is long and I'm sure that I will miss a few things. Full sunroof, TV's in headrests, DVD player in console, heated leather seats with suede inserts, customs carbon fiber dash panels, steering wheel, stereo system, wheels and tires, 2" leveling kit, chrome handles, FTX badges, chrome tow hooks, fancy hood, custom fog lights, bed cover, custom dual exhaust and a tow package. Like I said, I'm sure I missed some stuff.

The person who purchased the truck then took it to Paul's High Preformance and had 4.10's installed, predator towing break controls, along with a Roush Supercharger. I was told this was the first F150 that had the blower kit installed and that Roush's personnel came down to do the mock up and install the blower kit. It ended up making 355 rwhp. Pretty stout truck.

Once I bought it, I took it to HPP Racing to have them verify the tune. Manny actually got more out of it, ending up at 365 rwhp! I as happy for a while, but wanted to do something to extract some more power out of this 5.4. So, I got it back to HPP and had them install Stainless Works Headers and Exhaust. They noticed when the heads were pulled that one of the Pistons had a chunk out of it, so we ended up building the motor. At this point I had 107k on the truck.

Now the mods include, HPP built 5.4, nasty cams, HPP ported and polished heads, 80lb. injectors, KB boost-a-pump, precision industries triple disk torque converter, two trans coolers, boost gauge, air/fuel gauge, electric cut-outs and most of all, upgraded to a 2.3L Whipple. After doing all of that, the truck made 430 rwhp! Still not satisfied though!! It's going back in a week to have a 15% overdrive pulley installed to spin the blower more and should get me close to 480-500 rwhp. I'm still running the stock trans, as soon as it goes, I'll rebuild it and turn it up even more. I will keep this thread updated on the next go round and see what she can make. I will attach the pics of the truck so you can keep up with the build, when I get to my pc.

Sounds sweet, would love to see it.

Do the pictures not show up?

They work now, you looking to do anymore to it aesthetically? IMO I would get a little different wheel, chrome looks good just wheel looks odd. Besides that, beautiful truck!

Damn I wish Tuscany would sell their hoods

err, actually, quite the opposite... The hood scoop is the only thing I would change on that truck, and on all Tuscany trucks for that matter.

at least the OP has the vroom vroom to back it up

Update. So close to 500hp. But I'm happy with it.

I appreciate all of the opinions. I actually prefer the hood scoop, it sets these trucks apart from the rest of them. As far as doing more to the appearance, I'm happy with the way it looks at the moment. At some point I will have to get new rims. I would like to go a little bit lighter, just to make the truck a little bit faster. Sorry the video is not longer, it will only let me upload a video of 4.7MB or smaller. The original video was 28MB.

Not the opposite actually. I like it hence my original comment
