 Subject: stupid H/D f-150

Message:
My truck (02 r/c 2wd 4.7 5sp 3.92) Mods (dynomax muffler, homebrew intake, tps @.74) with regular street radials ran a 14.61 @ 92.6 mph. My buddies stock 02 Harley f150 ran a 14.9 @ 93 mph. Which made me smile from ear to ear. Now last week he went and put the different pulley kit on his FORD (from 6 psi to 10.5 psi) and ran a f'in 14.4. What do i do next? I WILL NOT LOSE TO A DAMN F150 (unless its a lightning)

Let me get this straight...
You have a naturally asparated 4.7L, he has a Forced-Induction (Supercharged) Ford?
And he's beating you by .21 of a second?
So it's taking a supercharger and 10PSI of boost to beat your non-supercharged Dakota?
I'd be happy with that. But you could look into HO cams and a larger Throttle Body... I hear people are having good luck with the Cams.

First of all, I agree with Todd, he's S/Cd. Why worry about it. And isn't that truck just a glorified(and oh how glorious H/D is) Lightening. I'm assuming the motors aren't identical but still .2 isn't much to get worried about. If you want fast the new S/Cd Cobra Rs with a different pulley can run 11.8 stock. That's fast.

I agree with todd that a Na 4.7 staying with a supercharged harley f-150 is really good. I also think if you want more to get the cams. I hear that the cams and the intake are worth 25+hp. After that you might want to start to think sbout headers. How are those street tire holding up at the track? A pair of r/t rims from a junkyard and a set of Mickey ET's will make up the difference.

The H/D F150 has the same engine as the Lightning, but with less boost and more weight to push around. They're fast, but not quick (comparitively speaking).

from what I know and I come from family of fords the hd has the older lightning engine. IE excluding the extrude honed intake and one other thing I think an intercooler. And if I'm not mistaken the hd comes with 3.55gears. plus keep in mind all that leather and those 20's aren't easy to toss around.

Sure, I've just heard about it. But if what I've heard is true. And my sources are reputable. The car is a full fledged super-car in every sense of the word.

dakotahd, Oh ok, I gotcha man. No quarl with the numbers just wasnt sure if you were talking about the Cobra or the Cobra R.
Which makes me curious...
Why didnt they just put the N/A DOHC 5.4, which had 385 horse and 385 lbs of torque, in the 03 Cobra like the one they had in 00 Cobra R and just squeezed a couple more horse out of it? That way SVT would have avoided all that super charger flack.
Dont get me wrong by any means I love the 03 cobra and it deffinatly is a beast blown or not blown.

I would get the drift any more that SVT likes blowing motors. I mean look they've got the lightning, H/D F-150s, concept econo-lightening, and the cobras. Given 3/4 are lightening variants but I think they don't mind a bit.
