Hi all and thanks for the add. Just bought my very first F150 - my first truck, actually. I got rid of my two "winter beaters" over the last six months and decided it was time for a pickup. I ran across a high mileage but very clean, one-owner, Ford-maintained 2016 XLT 3.5 EcoBoost at a reasonable price. I will pick it up at the end of this week.

My only hope at this point is that I'll be able to avoid excessive mods. That's what my ProCharged Mustang is for. We'll have to wait and see what happens.
-Steve

Haven't dyno'd it yet, but comparable builds say it should be right around 500 HP and 420 Tq. I do know that it can outrun stock 5.0s.
Bumping down to a smaller supercharger pully could put me closer to 600 HP but I'm pretty happy where I am right now.

I've been in this game long enough to know that there is no such thing as "just some wheels."
