nice, what exhaust r u running again?
My 4.7L (my 1st video post)
Made a shaky cell phone video of 0-60 today on the way home from work on a quiet road....this is my quad cab 4.7L (3.55) with superchips 93 tune. IIRC I have the 1-2 shift rpm set at 6,100 rpms and this is with torque management at the stock setting. Traction control is off, I let off when the tires started spinning, then got back into the pedal (kills me to burn up $1,000 tires! lol)

Yeah that would be good. I find myself thinking about how fast my truck would be if I had all my mods with the 5.7....
You ever do that?
lol yeah I hear you but honestly I am very happy with the 4.7L. It's pretty powerful and I should end up near 300 rwhp which isn't too bad for a small engine in my to and from work truck. I knowingly bought the 4.7L understanding the hemi was faster, but also knowing I would throw a small amount of money/time into it. I just can't help myself, I love wrenching. Hell I modified my lawnmower, weed wacker, and chainsaw to run better . Primary goals when I went to buy my truck were (in order): quad cab, good deal, great shape, quick, good looking, goodish on gas, lowish miles. I got a great deal and couldn't pass it up, and what really sold me on the 4.7L was that the SC tuner adds so much hp and tq that it made it worth it to me (it dropped my 1/4 mile ET a whole second). I'm making a lot of the performance parts myself, doing all the labor myself, and buying most every other part used, or at least on the cheap. I think I'll only have about $2,000 into the performance of my truck when I'm done and that'll include ram air, the intake setup I have now, shorties, y pipe, muffler, stall, tuner, 4.10's and LSD, mech fan delete and 180 deg tstat, and catch can.
EDIT: Not to say if someone wanted to straight up trade my same truck with a hemi I wouldn't take it, but I really like my truck, and honestly really like my 4.7L. If the hemi didn't exist, I'd take the 4.7L over any other manufacturer's bigger engines.

Very cool. Damn good for 18 years old! My dad gave me his 1981 F100 for high school graduation (even though he gave it to me earlier). We restored it while I was growing up, then during high school built the inline six up a little and the trans. I loved that truck and it is now sitting in storage collecting dust, mostly disassembled . We are trying to find a warehouse that we can work on it in so we can rebuild it and shoot for closer to 1,000 hp this time (we were at around 325 hp NA with stock bottom end). We will be building up the bottom end and gotta get some pistons that will handle a large amount of nitrous. Planning to run a lot of nitrous on the track to get nearer to single digit 1/4 mile ET's. If we can't achieve that on nitrous or can't keep pistons together then we will go over to turbo. Nitrous is just sooo easy and cheap that it's very appealing lol. I'd go all out on this truck (the 4.7L would be great to turbo or run juice) but I love that old truck and want to keep this one very reliable.

And I'm already trash talking in the other thread...
