More like $8K for the complete kit plus any other parts you add along the way.

A new one? It'd only get a good race on a basemap with a pulley running less than 10 psi lol.

Whipple is a better supercharger on the trucks. On the cars the right centrifugal will always end up faster in the long run. instant torque vs building boost with rpm. Not to mention the centrifugal kits are usually significantly cheaper.

The HP and TQ are instant. If both trucks are 4wd the EB is getting gapped...period.
But the question is, can it hook up and get a good launch that much power. It may be too much power. I have seen cars win due to better launch when they should have lost on paper.

4X4 should do the trick.

They hook just fine. There’s a plethora of mid 11 second blown trucks. EB’s...not so much.

2wd wont get you the quick 60' this guy is getting, and if you dont power brake it you will be waiting for the turbos to get going after the light is green. Power braking gets the turbos spooled and has you making serious torque right off the line, but you need the 4x4 to put it down.
Damn impressive!

Just gonna chime in and point out that for $2k you could run 11's no problem, with a basic nitrous kit, and retain the ability to run regular fuel.
No need to flame or argue either fellas....13 second truck 99%of the time, 11 sec truck the other 1%

Pretty cool truck to be running mid 12's, I wonder what the 60ft was? These F150's get screwy under 1.7
