I want my truck to be quicker I was wondering if my transmission is holding my truck up it shifts pretty rough n I think its a 4 speed any suggestions please I am new to this so any help would be much appreciated

Have you checked the transmission fluid lately? Start there. And plenty of things to make you go faster, depends what kind of gains you want.

[hernandez89]

I want lots of gains this truck isn't my daily driver I want it for weekend fun like shows some races u know

Don't have a budget

[5.0Flareside]

So you just have unlimited money to spend to make this truck faster????

Find that hard to imagine

Then if you have no set amount and want massive gains, forced induction is your route. Slap a supercharger and a new intake manifold and some injectors on her and your speed problem will be solved.

Plus an exhaust system for better outflow and a nice tone.

A 460 swap would require trans swap, engine frame perch swap, exhaust, wiring harness lots of stuff..

I can give ya a list of parts to make that 351 pull anything imaginable but it's gonna cost money..
Can do same with a 460.. Gonna cost money as well..


Best thing to do is start. With a good tuneup, cleaned/rebuilt carb, a few other maintenance items.

Then save up to build it..

I wanna be at the 350 400 HP line

[5.0Flareside]

At crank or wheels?


Smokin' Tires with my 5.0 on Tapatalk

[hernandez89]

At crank I think at the wheels would be to much hahaha

Oh butter then.. 350 at crank is easy with 351W.. I'm doing it with a 302

Problem is when ya do it with a 351 it makes gobs of torque and tends to break **** like trans or rear end, u-joints Etc..

[hernandez89]

Yea I was researching my engine and correct me if I'm wrong but it was like 200 HP and 300 something torque

----------

Yea n it doesn't matter I wanna switch everything to new little by little its a family proyect so wanna keep it as a tradition
