Looks good! But......with all the new vehicles either out or on the horizon I hope that the 400/440 is at the wheels. I'm assuming it is. Also factor in the weight of the new F150. As with the majority of kits, there will be plenty of hp/tq left on the table!
Being a Lightning owner and knowing how easy it is to put down 400/500 at the wheels leaves me wanting more than just 400/440....480/530 would be more like it!

This is measured at the wheels....BTW, welcome to the site (former f150online member here)

I just read the other post on the new blower.
Guess I should have searched a bit more. :eyes:
I wish something like that was available back when I had my n/a F150! I was always jealous of the Radix you GM guys had access to!
Thanks for the welcome. This is one of my favorite sites, even when it was an all GM site.

Is it longer than the 118.25 incher that I'm running for my dual alts?

Pretty sure, I have the belt length at the office.

Wow....and the one I have is the longest one I could find.
Anyway, back on topic. Looks like a nice kit, should be cool to see some "brotherly" competition between Magnacharged Ferds and Chubbys.

They dont need this. They can already pull a suspended rig in the air while driving underneath it.

I can't wait to see them in action! Me driving my L with every one and their mother wanting to race, I'm sure to come across one sooner or later!

I really doubt that in this case...a superchrged 05+ F150 is not going to be another Lightning. Not that 400+ hp is impressive, it is, but the F150 needs to go on a serious diet before it wasnts to run a MagnaCharged Silverado. For example, the Roush Stage 2 F150 boasts a roots blower and 405 hp (? on the tq) yet only manages a 14.89 in the 1/4. Granted it was on an extended cab, yet all new F150's kinda have and extended cab anyways, so I don't see a RCSB F150 really pulling a better time unless the MangnaCharger just outperforms Roush's blower. Not bashin' on the Ford guys, that's just the situaution they're in.:(

Oops did not realize that was at the wheels! It may be salty yet... I'll say low 14's 1/4mi, still it's not a Lightning, though!

Nope, not a Lightning...hehe.
About the Silverado...it's going to be gaining weight too. Here I was, getting excited about what they have done to the hp/tq on the upcoming engines. Now the weight will eat a lot of it up.

:( The big three seem to think bigger is better :(
I agree with Rhino...the MC'd F150's won't run like a Lightning, even a stock one. I've ran a few L's and they make awesome power with minimal mods...one ran 12.50's, but that night it wasn't fast enough! :drive:
