im fixing to take my truck to the track its an 04 heritage rounded style with v6 4.2 and tuned muffler lol...

[palombax]

@crazyryan A tuned muffler? How do you go about that? You will probably run around 11.5 in the 1/8th mile.

My 03 supercab automatic ran an 11:62 with a loaded tool box in the bed.1/8th mile.

@Camaromandave98 yeah, no doubt. i used to have a 96 T/A with the LT1 and that thing would launch very quick, only 1 car ever got me off the line and it was a 3000GT VR-4, but i still caught it around 80mph. never lost a race in that thing. i really iss it :(

@Camaromandave98

Can't pu t straight pipes on a v6 plus it's a shitty truck.. You suck get a real truck puss.

@99ford150v8 i have had my 08 V6 f150 at the track, have beaten every truck i raced there. also on the road i have beaten my buddy's 04 4.8L silverado and that was before i got my tuner. i moved away and cant race him now. i got a tuner, he traded his in for an 06 5.3L silverado Z71. i visited him and i could stay right beside him in any gear until i had to shift. once i pushed in the clutch he was gone. but 0-30, or 30-55, or 55-80, i can stay right beside him. all 3 are reg cab shortbeds

[99ford150v8]

Who drags with a v6 truck? U have no chance.

[timmypstyle]

@palombax i thought you had an auto when i said that before. but yeah you cant powerbrake a manual at the track. it would be hard to get it on the line just right. but i know it gives a very nice jump for the autos. i personally have only made 4 runs so i havent gotten my clutchwork at the track down pat. the track i was as was kinda slick. so i had to launch different from how i do normally. but from a red light i can get it moving pretty good.

@timmypstyle Why would you do that, when you can have the clutch in, rev to the RPM you plan to launch from, then when the light hits green disengage the clutch just right to achieve the best launch.
