Ordered the RK Sport Hood today from AutoAnything.com for $703 shipped with 15% discount coupon LOYALTY, and a Auto Spring 2.5"/3(1)" level lift from Auto Spring on ebay for $199 shipped.

Still waiting on getting the flares painted and installed. I'll probably wait now so that they can be painted with the hood and the lettering for the grill.



Going to PTM with the center of the hood and scoop black with matte clear coat.

I just ordered;


Full Race Intercooler, Black, with Meth Bungs & Red TiaL BOV





AEM Ford Drop-In Air Filter



Ford F-150 EcoBoost 3" Cat-Back Exhaust System



SCT Livewire TS Performance Programmer & Monitor


And of course 2 of each sticker in black & white so I can represent properly!




Full-Race is having a sale so I save a couple hundred bucks : )

Keep an eye on my build thread for pics, reviews, and before and after Dyno's!

(Whewwww...I think my credit card is melting...lol)

What gains will the full race intercooler provide?

Nice build so far

So I got the exhaust in the mail yesterday and it's beautiful. Before I start installing things though I had to satisfy my curiosity and get a base line dyno done.

Today I my way home from a Home Depot run, I stopped at Debaise Bros. Customs Cycles & HotRod shop which is right around the corner from my house and they ran it for me. (On their 224xLC Dyno)

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm not overly impressed with the results. I haven't done much research to see what other people are getting stock, so I'll have to look around and see how this compares.

Uncorrected
Best Run RWHP 290.73, Best Run ft/lbs 301.57
Three Run Average RWHP 287.86 & 296.77 ft/lbs
8/16/13 81*F, 40%RH

SAE
Best Run RWHP 284.36, Best Run ft/lbs 294.88
Three Run Average RWHP 281.52 & 290 ft/lbs
8/16/13 81*F, 40%RH




Still not bad for a 6 banger I guess.



I will install the Full-Race Exhaust, drop in air filter, and intercooler, then put on about 300 miles and run it again, hopefully on a day with similar conditions to see what kind of power they free up, then I'll install the SCT 91 octane tune and run it... then we'll see if we can't find a better tune than the boxed tune... we have 93 at the pumps around here.

Ran the 100ft drags for my first time ever at Waterford SpeedBowl tonight. My reaction times were atrocious during my 5 test and tune runs.. and my 100 ft times got progressively worse, I'm assuming due to the heat soaked intercooler- 3.069, 3.132, 3.176, 3.177, 3.207, 3.829 (2WD..oops) (Not in that exact order, but close.
So I put myself in the 3.06 bracket to be safe...because I thought no way would I beat it..
But after the drivers meeting, the sun had gone down and it was probably 10 degrees cooler.. truck had been sitting with the hood open for an hour, and I was one of the first few to run-

Ran a 2.858 in the 100ft @ 36.24mph with a 0.280 RT. I was stoked!
Of course that means I broke out of my bracket, and the other guy who I went way faster than technically one.

Either way it was an awesome time and I highly suggest you try it if you have a local strip.

(All runs done in 4WD LOCKED, save one)

Alright so I went back for another baseline Dyno this morning. Much better than last time. All runs were done in 3rd gear, (can't complete a 4th gear run because you hit 100mph speed limiter). Ambient air temperature was 81*F with 49%RH. Dyno brake set at 25% (30 was too much and 20% wasn't enough). (On a 224xLC Dyno)

Standard
Best Run RWHP 310.27 : Ft/Lbs 350.10
Average RWHP 305.07 : Ft/Lbs 346.23




Uncorrected
Best Run RWHP 306.15 : Ft/Lbs 345.58
Average RWHP 301.07 : Ft/Lbs 341.69





SAE
Best Run RWHP 302.63 : Ft/Lbs 341.45
Average RWHP 297.55 : Ft/Lbs 337.69





Much better.

When are all the goodies going on?

And check out the SoCal tunes, he could do some custom tuning for all of your mods.

Thanks,

Wes
