Im new to forum and want to build a 5.0 f150 pulling truck. My plan is to put a boss 302 intake on it and set of cams and headers with custom tunes. Use a super duty tcase and one ton axles out of a 06 f350. Pull low range 2nd with 4.10 gears. Tied of watching ls trucks dominate are local stock gas class. Anyone see a problem with my idea?

Anything is possible if you throw enough $$$$ at it. That would make a good build thread. I'd subscribe.

I don't know anything about truck pulls, but is it still "stock class" if you're F150 has Superduty powertrain parts?

Yes it is. Are rules are one ton drivetrain. I dont think it be that expensive. I have a 06 f350 donor truck and found a adapter to put a 99-03 t case behind the 6r80.

That'd be pretty cool to see! I think it'd work well, not sure the 302 intake is worth it though. Check out this video from VMP.

Looks like a ported 18 manifold is what i need then. I want turn the engine 7500.

Would a 6.2 F250 w/ F350 axles be worse?

That would be my recommendation. It'll likely be cheaper as well.

6.2 has same front axle as a f350. Power the problem. There not as much horsepower to be gained from a 6.2. Im. Wanting 600 at the engine.

Just happened across this on the Oz Tuning website.

Sled pulling engines are actually built very much like drag engines and for that reason I'd go ported Boss+90mm tb or CobraJet. Boss would be the cheaper route. Power to 8000 will do more than power top 73-7500.

As for the video vmp did, that's a test to sell intakes. Those results can be very different with different tuners and track times just don't reflect that 18 manifold being the better option
