So i just picked up a 2010 F-150, 2wd, 4.6l super crew, short bed. I'm looking for engine mods to get the tires smoking. Hoping I can get some ideas here. I'm already ordering a K&N intake for it, and magnaflow exhaust system. What tuners work well ? and is there anyone here in NJ, or nearby that specializes in these new motors that can give me some options ? I want to retain the driveability, and possibly increase fuel economy, but def want a few more ponies to the tires. 300+ HP to the rear wheels I feel is a reasonable goal.
Any suggestions ? bolt on superchargers ? camshafts ? etc ??

The 4.6 is slow. Not worth the $- just drive it.

Well your in luck. The 4.6 3v straight out of a mustang.

Realistically if you want add 100hp to get over 300RWHP easy then you need a blower. Whipple!

-IF- dealstereonj has the 4.6L 2V, not so. *It too is "straight out of a mustang" (along with several other FoMoCo vehicles).

With the 4.6L 2V there is no reasonable ROI on investment for performance mod's.

Have you had one? It's not that slow and doing some mods can help it. Mine has custom tunes from 5 star tuning and it's fast, I can smoke tires no problems and it moves.

I have the 3V with no motor or exhaust mods other than tunes.

Rossco

He's probably got the 3v with 6R six cog. Only he knows I guess.

dealstereonj

How do I tell which is 2v and which is 3v?? Aside from decoding the VIN, what physical differences are there ?

Is yours a 6speed or a 4 spd?

Look under the hood at this thing. Says right on it

8th character of the VIN ...
