By law, sugar was reduced in ketchup, mainly for childrens'' health. That's hard to do in candy, so they are upping the protein and amino acid content.

Not many CARB certified charge kits out there or for the 4.6l, but I've seen a few options. If it's gonna stay in Cali I want whoever buys it to pass CARB smog inspections, and I'm waaaay below what I'm allowed so I've got room to play with mods, I'm just not so sure without headers I'd go 21lb injectors... I'm just shy of 300hp with current mods (up from 230-240 factory). The tuner alone is 27hp, GOTs is another 10hp, dual exhaust another 10, MSD ignition another 5hp, K&N another 5hp.

LOL....all that, most definitely a first.

It's possible for the 5four to achieve 260 RWHP NA. W/o head work and/or a charger...but it end there. That's been dyno proven.

Lightning build would be cool...getting difficult acquiring all the goods though. You could go Coyote...building a harness for it is a drag but it can be and has been done now.

My '01 4*4 has a 5.4, 3.01 equivalent rear end, & supposed 265HP.. I used to get 16 mpg at 60-65 when it had 16's vs the 17's now. Clearly, your acceleration should best mine, but I need mpg. If I had $3k for an 8psi turbo, I could have both worlds. Sigh. Maybe, if "someday" comes.

Your mpg ???

It's scarier that anyone takes a man who has brain worms telling him to dump bear carcasses in public parks seriously. He has zero qualification to have an opinion on such things, just a man looking for a cause... should food be free from such things (as they are in most first world nations)? Yeah, of course but there are better qualified, and sounder minds to lead the fight. He's dead wrong about so many things, and having worked in counter-propaganda myself (long story, not at liberty to discuss) I'm telling you... question everyone, and everything, even your own judgements because no single person I've ever met has been free from programming.
