I have a 2000 Ford F150 XLT with 4.2L V6 which has a brand new engine core and water pump and compressor.

So today i was messing around and was racing my friend who owns a honda and i knew would lose since my car is heavy.

My question what can i do to beef up the power on my truck without blowing my engine? Super Charge, Turbo, cold air intake, what is out there so i can smoke him next time?

 

The 4.6 is s v8 and your truck is a lot heavier and geared slower. Supperchargers and turbos are 5k plus dollars. Without forced induction your best bet is a programmer but your still not gonna beat a ricer. If you want to beat him hook a chain to his honda and see if he can even budge you.

 

Well it say 4.6 maybe 4.2 idk lol so really there is no way for me to beat this kid. I might when tug war but thats not as satisfying as a race win.

 

You can get used lightning SC for under1k.

What kind of Honda? If its a 4cy you shouldn't have to do much to beat it

 

Honda civic only reason he won is because i didn't want to blow my engine since it was replaced

 

im pretty new to the forum so what do you mean by SC?

 

Cold air kit, headers and exhaust, gears, programmer....

 

SC is just short for supercharger

 

Can you put a lightning super charger on a 4.6? Before you go buying anything you need to figure out if its a 4.6 or a 4.2.

 

I am pretty sure that you can put a SC on a 4.6. Now idk if you have to do any mods, if you find out let me know.

Yea dude, pop the hood and see what it is
