Default 2017 F150 3/5 Drop and the "Lightning is back"

New to the Forum.... picked this up about a month ago... it was a repo - and then bought at the dealer.... Ceramic coated the paint after a TON of polishing.... Belltech 3/5 Drop and added a Whipplecharger set to 10.5 PSI.... runs really good.... have to decide on some wheels and
tires next... also running the exhaust out the side... just like the old Lightning.... so far my best 0-60 time is 4.5 seconds but it spinning the tires on the launch.... so I need some stickier tires.... but it is also my tow vehicle... so not sure how that's all going to work out...




stock vs. lowered

Got it. That explains the 0-60 times. Get some sticky tires and that puppy will fly!
What wheel/tire setup are you thinking about putting on?

Have not settled on a wheel tire combination yet.

Who did you go to to squeeze more out of the whipple

Wow, beautiful truck! In my opinion, there is no better wheel on a lowered 13th gen F150 than the Dub Luxe S205, here are a couple examples and would look killer on your truck:

Awesome ride! Are you be able to send me pictures of the underside to see how you routed the side exit exhaust? I wanted me corsa to have a pre-tire exit but after lowering 3/5 the leaf spring blocks the exit path to route the exhaust to the side.

Thank you in advance

All the dealers have 3/5 drop and running side exhaust
