[QUOTE="Troponin, post: 14768001, member: 162938"] Getting in to the final stages of the install. On the home stretch now. There was a decent amount of grinding involved on the front cover fitment to make sure belts etc cleared. Wiring also seemed to be a little more of a task to handle on the F150 than the Mustang install as well. [ATTACH=full]634334[/ATTACH] Blower finally installed. I did some before and after performance testing just to get an idea of how much of a difference this kit makes. Let me tell you something about these trucks. Your butt dyno doesn't tell the whole story! After first I was a little disappointed. It didn't pull as hard as I was expecting. Then I did a 0-60 and 60-80 pull and the results speak for themselves. I did SOFT launches, meaning, I didn't rev the RPMS before the launch. I just let go of the brakes and punched it. First pull was in 2WD and it launched ok. Post install, I had to do it in 4 wheel drive because it was just smokin the tires like a mofo. 0-60 before 7.6 seconds After 6.1 seconds 60-80 Before 5.7 seconds After 4.6 seconds So, If I were to hard launch this, I would be in the 5 second range. I also noticed that the ROUSH tuning does, in fact, bump the rev limit. It's now going to 6500RPMs, vs the 5500-5800 it was previous to the install.
