Its not because I am a "chevy guy" either. Its because its been proven over and over.... the 5.4 doesnt stack up.

There are quite a few RCSB 5.4 F-150's with the Lightning blower swap (not even a twinscrew like the Radix) running well into the 12's. The 5.4's are not the best in making high HP numbers but that because they don't get to wind up as much as a 5.3L, but the 5.4L makes more than it's fair share of torque though. That's why the Lightnings are as quick as they are for the horsepower they make. Gobs of torque owing to a stroke that's longer than a 427 SBC's.

theres not one stock 5.4 n/a that will outrun a stock 5.3 n/a
also for the same amount of money you cant mod a 5.4 to outrun a 5.3
it costs to much to make power with a mod motor.
also id hope a lightning would outrun a stock 5.3 if it didnt then that would be sad

agreed
id love to have a cobra with a whipple on it.
The wheels are a bit too big though. Bet it would look even nicer in black.

The L's are starting to move more and more down the scale. A few years ago, most everyone was in the high 12's, some low, a few in the 11's and a couple in the 10's. Now pretty much everyone is either in the low 12's/high 11's, quite a few in the low 11's, and last time I checked there was 50 or so in the 10's. And that's just what's on the boards. I'm sure there's more than that runnin around.
