There will Always be negative people on these forums. The one thing I have learned most of the negative people that want a debate back-and-forth about things they really don't know what they're talking about...are the ones who would never buy the system anyway. On mustang6g forums There are guys in the forced inductions section all the time. That have pepboys exhaust tips on their car telling people what system they should and shouldn't buy with no experience with any of the system on that particular platform. Why would this fourm be any different.

I’ve said it a hundred times here...personally I build trucks because that’s what I fit in. I’m way too tall for any sports car. As far as poor handling and poor braking...I wholeheartedly disagree. I’ve build some that would hang with the best of sports cars.

Makes sense if one doesn't fit in a sports car. Im 6'5' and very broad - so I get that. But handling as well as a sports car - Now that's just silly. I think if you tried to hang with me on some of these mountain roads in your truck you'd be dead.

I will say it again - even if I don't appreciate it, doesn't mean others feel the same.

and honestly, the F150 is a damn fine handling truck compared to vehicles of yore. It's quite surprising to me how controlled body roll is in stock form.

Not my F150 but the blown Pro Touring Ram R/T I built a few years ago would. I can hunt down the GoPro vids of me running a truck length behind liter bikes dragging knees if you want. It’s amazing what you can do when you throw a 100,000 dollar bill at a truck.

Default Haters gonna Hate lol

On this thread did I ever once say My truck will handle like a sports car at the Nurburgring no. It will be 650-700 on pump with a bap. If/when I do a fuel system on E85 I can safely run 800 - 850whp. E85 works wonders for cooling. the answer to why build a truck is because you can't get better all around Vehicle.. I want a fast straight line street truck that I can fit my whole family in. Pack it up go down the shore or up the mountains.
The funny thing is my big *** truck will probably be faster then most of the dudes cars that say why build truck they can't perform like a car.

You can definitely make a truck handle like a car. It just takes money. To say it's stupid to make a truck go fast because they can't handle like a sports car. Would be like saying its stupid to make a hellcat or a 14 gt500 any faster. Because both of those cars handle like sh%t.

Unbroken you can post the video if you want

I think it's awesome what you're doing. I may not be a fan of those particular turbos, but anyone talking **** about a TT v8 is crazy.
