Want to get my f150 to run mid 14's @ the drag strip on only bolt ons

There's two ways about this:
1. If you just want a vehicle that will run a pretty damn good 1/4 mile you could take all the money you're gonna need to get your truck into the 14's and by a DSM in stead. You can pick up a 1G AWD Talon Tsi (or equivilant) for like 1500 bucks. Buy a bigger turbo; like an Evo III 16G, bigger IC, exhaust, DSM Link and a tune with a fuel pump and cams and you're mid 12's at LEAST!
2. OR........spend all that money on your truck to run the 14's just so you can say you beat a stock Chevy or GMC.
An SC 'is' a bolt-on part......technically.
To each his own.

Hey man I am 25 years old and I love my truck and dont hate bro I can get a new truck but like this one plus it was a present from my dad to me for my 21st bday.....and drag race quads and do know my **** about motors and wat it takes to make them fast I just wanted an opinion and some direction from guys that have built these trucks.....and my truck looks very clean it's got a 4-6 drop on 22's and a very loud system witch were all installed by me

My opinion would be to look for a used SC..................the cams and tune will only get you so far with proper supporting mods; but with the SC you can always go faster with smaller pulleys..........until you reach the point where there aren't any smaller ones left to get.
UNLESS...........you get a used turbo from someone and use that instead. Can always buy a bigger one later.

12 Second Truck
I guess some folks don't get it. I don't want a second car to take care of. I love my truck. I want it fast. Not a 2nd car/truck. You might spend 8hrs a year at the strip. Most are in there trucks daily. I want performance daily! Not just a dragster. I can't speak for hi-rev but a goal of 14, 13, or even 12 is an indication of what a person wants on the street. What good is the fast car at the house when your driving the truck somewhere and you can't feel that thrust?

12 Second Truck
You said you can't buy a new truck, but you can afford cams, gears, tuning??? Am I missing something? Why don't you either trade your truck in with a down payment and get a new truck, finance a used Stang, or just accpet the fact you're driving a truck and it's slow. You're obviously in high school and your friends have Chevys and you're all suffering from shlong-envy. These are the stupidest threads.
Note: BlownFord, this is not at all directed towards you. Your truck is slick and clean.

But to all in my opinion what makes a thread like this suck is when people start bashing the guy for wanting a fast truck or recommending he buy a ragged out import piece of **** and so on. Its disappointing. This is an American kid/guy whatever you wanna call it whose wanting to make his american truck faster. Give a little support folks. His question was clear...how do I make my truck faster? Thus far I have seen 2-3 pages of bs and only a handful of useful information answering his question.

Oh I get that, but I highly doubt you wanted to go FI because some guy you knew had a Chevy and said it's faster. You also knew it takes the big $$ to actually make a difference
