I would love to but the inlet and tb on the whipple won't allow it cause of the brake booster in the truck. The roush F-150 inlet is different from the roush mustang inlet

You ever figure out what may have caused it?

Hard to tell. It was cold out that night and I was over 140mph so could be a lot of things. I'm taken it to Troyer to get tuned with 15-16Lbs of boost. Troyer said its happen to a few trucks with non roush tunes cause a lot of tuners can't tune the truck proper due to the codes been similar but different from the mustang which was leading to alot of them going from a 11.5A/F to a 14 out of the blue.So I'm getting a full dyno tune at his shop he assures me a lot better results and reliability. I'm going to break the motor in with the roush tune they ***** to the wall at his shop in 3weeks

Nice, sounds like it's gonna be a beast! I never went from the 85mm to the 80, mine is still rockin out. It's been cold down here for a few weeks, and i've noticed if it gets below 60 degrees out it has trouble starting in the morning, and will run kinda rough til the motor warms up. Other than that i have no complaints, still trying to find some time to get it to the track.
