The ford should run around 16's maybe high 15, I think it would be a good race.

the 5.4 is a turd. And he is about 500lbs+ more than you... remember there is a weight difference between you guys. I think it may be more than 500 lbs difference... bc the f150s are heavier than silverados i beleive. Is he 4x4?
