Default New Guy Just Ordered A F150

I'm new to the Ford performance world. Just ordered a F150 Regular Cab 4x4 5.0 yesterday. Looking to do a build to make it a nice cruiser and drag racer.

Sorry, no pictures.

If you watch the options on that RCSB it can come weighing near 4000 pounds!


Is the weight on my 2.7 with spare/jack/road tools/Decked Storage/personal gear.




This may interest you.

It was a tough decision to go either 2 or 4wd. After talking to a tuner, I was told that going over 750 hp was tough with the 2wd. Just not enough traction. Not sure I'll ever go that far but it's there if I do.

I'm looking for a f150 coyote shop. Anyone have any recommendations?

I know that a few people in the Hellcat community have had a few problems with them. Not sure if it's widespread with the 3.0 - 3.8 or not. I still have a while before I need to make a decision since the order was confirmed by Ford only yesterday
