99-04 5.4 2v VS 5.3 vortecs!

[slim]

Most of my buddies have z71s and I'm fighting strong against them with my 03 5.4! Back me up F150 owners!!!

[Jersey_Joe]

I've smoked em all. From Chevys to tundras. They all fall. Even that sissy hemi. Smoked that too. There just no match to my 5.4. They better Bucky I didn't get a 5.0 yet........

----------

Feel lucky. Not Bucky. Lol

[slim]

Yeah I've pulled a few 5.3s. Just depends on what gear I was in and speed I was running at the time. I have 3:55s with K&N air filter.

----------

Oh and I don't necessarily mean racing a 5.3. I mean the engines vs each other like reliability and which is built better

[Jersey_Joe]

Either or lol. We win

Lol damn. What do you have done to your 5.4??

[RhinoZ24]

5664

There's some ammo for you to throw at them lmao.

[Jersey_Joe]

Lol damn. What do you have done to your 5.4??
In my truck? Pretty much everything but a supercharger I dynoed the engine at 522 on the stand. So minus 25/30% to the wheels so I'm thinkin a solid 400 to the wheels

----------

I had run on there when I broke it in I think tj was 425. I'll have to check. Either way she's a beast and I get 18 mph

Lmao, I can keep going with these.

----------

Anyways, the 5.4 was a great engine, just enough HP, plenty of torque, great motor for towing, and with the right mods like with Joe's, it becomes untouchable when racing other trucks.

[Jersey_Joe]

Untouchable period!

----------

Thanks kid

[RhinoZ24]

Untouchable period!

----------

Thanks kid

Lmao and you're welcome, one day I hope to have vehicles with the kinds of power yours have. That day will also probably be the day I wrap a Shelby around a pole because I was driving 150+ lmao.

[Jersey_Joe]

175 now

----------

I don't really know what mine does.

----------

Faster than an Atlantic city hooker lol

----------

And the car gods have def blessed me. Just read read read read. Google answers questions did a few modifications and created my own monster. Myself. Great feeling when somebody asks. Who built your motor for u? And my reply is I did. lol. Great feeling whoopin fools asses with some fast fords

[slim]

Joe your fx4 has engine mods?

[Jersey_Joe]

Indeed sir heads intake exc...

[RhinoZ24]

Joe your fx4 has engine mods?

He doesn't quite have a stock F-150 5.4 lol, he has an unsupercharged 5.4 intended for the Shelby GT500.

[slim]

Sweet. A 4x4 truck at that!

----------

Oh my buddy has an 02 tahoe 4x4 on 35s. He has a black bear tune and says he wants to race. I think he'll beat me good. I wanna even the odds and get a tune so my question IS... What setup should I get? I don't care for the "high dollar" programmers that display the gauges. Just want a plug in tuner to give me some more power!

[RhinoZ24]

Edge my friend, and if you don't care about the nice display then go with the Edge Evolution.

[slim]

The edge evo still has gauges right?

[lee reece]

Yes it does!

2007 F150 XLT FX2 SPORT - 5.4l 3V 3.73 LIMITED SLIP EDGE/EVOLUTION PROGRAMMER

[RhinoZ24]

It can display up to 4 parameters, not with fancy gauges like the Edge CS or CTS. It monitors what you choose. For instance, I have my coolant temp, intake air temp, Trans temp, and instant mpg displayed.

[slim]

I wasn't really wanting a programmer that showed any gauges. Just a tune to boost my truck but the instant mpg and trans temp would be nice

[RhinoZ24]

You can do that, they have programmers/tuners that you hook up to your OBD-II port and it rewrites your PCM and then you disconnect it. You could go either route. And yeah the extra display options come in handy.

[slim]

Bc I just know if I whoop up on that tahoe, my friends are gonna say "it's bc of that programmer!!! Gives you like 100 extra hp dude!" So I think the tuner I plug in and out would be more modest ;)

[Jersey_Joe]

100? No way. Deisel? Yes. A good 40-50. On an average flash. Now. A flash can do much more of course. But now u r in the grounds of a custom tune. I have a few for my truck. But my buddy has a dyno. He's been great with me and the car. So naturally he wanted first crack at the truck. Needless to say. He is a wizard!! 40-50 hp is a lot. Don't kid yourself. Def noticeable. Fer sure. 100. Ur spending some loot Or cheating and usin squeeze lol

[slim]

Oh I was exaggerating about the 100hp lol. That's something my friends would say. Hey man 40/50hp?? Tell me what I gotta do! I know for a fact id spank that tuned tahoes tail with that much extra hp!!

[RhinoZ24]

Of course you would, can't let the little boys and bowties beat us real men that have what it takes to handle the real man's brand of Ford.

U should smack him anyways. Your lighter I believe.

[slim]

Ehh idk joe... To be honest I raced an 02 tahoe 2wd and he whooped my tail from a slow roll. I believe it was bc I have 3:55s, waaay bigger tires, and bc his is 2wd.

----------

But from red light to red light ill spank that a$$. Especially from take off. I think he has a cold air intake and maybe a tune bc I think I heard him mention it before.

[RhinoZ24]

His tune helps him but not his CAI so don't worry.

Ha. How many miles on your truck? U do a lot of mud and water?

[slim]

Pffftttt!!! I just rode in my buddies 02 z71 tahoe on 35s with a blackbear tune and I wasn't impressed!!

[Jersey_Joe]

Blackbear? Never heard of it. Not to say that it's not good. Just sayin never heard of it. But in all honesty. I put a kick ass ten ply tire. Stock size tire. I little heavier.but them big tires weigh u down

----------

Thus the bad gas mpg

[slim]

174k miles. It's still like new. My friends say it's the cleanest 03 they've ever seen. No I hardly take it through mud

[Jersey_Joe]

But in all honesty. That Chevy motor can rip. Done right

[slim]

Yeah it wraps up but I wasn't impressed with it. Still feels strong when I drove it but I was easy on it (tahoe)
