Finally back from high river but still have a few shifts to go. Nearly 3 weeks straight of work. My
Poor truck has been neglected. Then Thursday I have to go to high level for work for 4 days...

Got components to do a retrofit in a set of headlights and fog lights. If it turns out good I may retro a set of acura tl projectors into a set of heads, apparently they're the cats meow.

I really wish I could finish something before I start scheming my next project...

How's everyone?

Hey guys, so I ended up keeping my current 2013 FX4 and not buying the roush charged fx4. It would of been like a $30k lose and it wasent worth it really.

So I went to street legals last Friday and for my first track times I don't think I did too bad. Best was a 15.7@88.1mph. I haven't got the launch down yet and I went with over half a tank of fuel and tailgate up. I was starting in 4x4 and launching at about 1800 rpm. My 60' times were 2.4 so I have lots of work to do there for sure. If anyone is down for this Friday coming up then pm me and will meet up. There were 4 F150's out on Friday, a Eco and a foose F150 as well as a 5.0 with the roush changer on it.

Does anyone know where to go to get the best 93 octane fuel? I'd like to have no ethenal if possible but really all I can think of is husky for 94 octane.

Ahh I was actually talking to the guy driving it and last year he was running 14.4 and was decently happy with it. Then he was saying he put a bunch a work into it and this year it's actually running slower. He never ran faster then 15.2 the other night.

He thinks it's either major traction issues or he has a slipping tranny now. I'd say the truck should run low 14's and maybe dip into the 13's. There was a new 5.0 with the roush charger on it and buddy could only muster up a 14.5. I figured that truck would run 13's easy with that setup. I believe he's running the roush intake and exhaust with the crappy roush tune. Buddy also was a horrible driver and with a better driver I'd say 13's easy.

I take it you have a supercharged foose f150? You ever had it dyno'd or at the track?
