LFP is installing Whipples for 2018. While the article is about the Mustang, LFP will be building trucks too, as mentioned in the article. I priced one with a Roush 2 years ago, and it was cheaper than the Mustang. LFP RCSB sport anyone? http://www.lebanonford.com/lfp-800hp-mustang.htm

Beechmont Ford is on the list now, $37,995 for 725HP 2018 F150 Whippled 5.0. Same for a Roush.

My 2018 STX 4WD Crew cab with 3.73's, carpet, heavy duty tow package, power inverter, brake controller, 36 gallon tank, with supercharger installed, including tax, will be right at $50k.

Beechmont Ford is where I am getting my truck ordered in from, and they will be supercharging it as well. 5 minutes from my house.

Thanks for posting. Awesome that they are advertising the trucks! I may just have to get one......

3.73's with the 10R80 jesus christ.

Not sure if you've looked at the gearing in the 10R80 but here's the comparison gear ratio when running the 3.73 in the 10R80 vs the 6R80:

10R80 when running a 3.73 is like:
1st = like running a 4.19 rear end on 6R80
2nd = like running a 4.74 rear end on a 6R80
3rd = like running a 5.25 rear end on a 6R80
4th = like running a 5.75 rear end on a 6R80
5th = like running a 6.52 rear end on a 6R80
That's final gear reduction equivalence for running a 3.73 on the 10R80 vs the 6R80.

Sounds perfect for the 5.0.

Even with a whipple and 800 HP?

Sounds like a recipe for your tires turning into bubbling puddles of molten rubber.

I agree at that power level, 4X4 is almost mandatory. No 3.73 on the 2wd's anyway.

Yeah, back when I owned my 2006 GTO I remember the guys that went to TVS's were installing taller rear end gears cause they were struggling to get out of the hole. And that was with a 4L60 or T56 trans and stock 3.42's.

A 4x4 whippled 3.73 truck would be insane. I wonder if that could even put the power down without radials. I can heard the CV's exploding now.

If I was doing an 18 I’d have gone with 3:31’s for sure.

That is what I did. The math comes out to it being the same in 1st gear as a 6 speed with 3:73 gears. With a supercharger too low of a gear can hurt you more that help you even with 4wd.
