Default New Ford guy from Canada

Hi I am new here I am a Ford guy (ok im a truck guy I love all trucks from the big three but love ford)

I have owned

1992 F-150 5.0 2wd reg cab long box. my first truck / vehicle
2003 F-250 6.0 powerstroke 4x4 had it at around 420 hp and 700 ft lbs
2001 F-350 7.3 powerstroke 4x4 had that at about 250 hp 500 ft lbs
1997 2500 Ram Cummins 4x4 306hp and 650 ft lbs with a 5 speed
2003 2500 GMC Duramax 4x4 not sure shortly after buying this the crank filled with diesel and I lost the engine. sold that truck at a loss

now I got back to simple "cheaper" half ton trucks

I own a 1996 F-150 4x4 with 5.8 liter and e4od. transmission has 3000km on it shifts nice and firm. truck has 178000km on it no wheel well rust at all. she has a 6 inch lift and 35x12.5r15's (with stock 3.55 gears)

I had it at the local race track and she put down a best of 17.99



so my next question is she worthy enough for the site???

My goal is to drop that 1/4 mile time to 13.9 if possible and retain daily drivability. (I think boost is the only way to do that)
also plan on running only 33x12.5r15's

Welcome to the forums

As far as worthy, yes. As long as you are interested in improving the performance of your ride, you're in the right place. Hand over your wallet at the door
