Modifications -
Engine
Stock NVH block, stock bore. Forged Manley H-beam rods, and forged Manley pistons with stock 18cc dish.
Ford Racing Cobra jet crankshaft, stock stroke.
ARP main bolts, rod bolts, and head studs. Oil pump is from 07+ GT500 with matching pickup tube.
Heads are Trick Flow Track heat. 38cc combustion chamber with 125lb springs.
This brings compression to approx 9.3:1 with oem head gaskets.
Comp Cams XE272AH cams are installed in the heads, using all new OEM timing gears, chains and tensioners, followers and lifters.
MHP Racing assembled the short block, I assembled the long block.
Engine was installed spring of 2012, approx 4500 miles ago.
Induction -
2.3L Kenne Bell supercharger with a 3.25" upper pulley and a 6lb lower pulley to make 15psi. The supercharger is topped with a sheet metal intake from Johnny Lightning performance. The lower intake manifold is stock with the exception of a smoothed midplate. Attached to the supercharger is a C&L elbow, SCT BA2600 MAF and JLT adapter and filter.
Upgraded japbsco intercooler pump and all 3/4 lines.
Exhaust -
Cannon Long tube headers, ceramic coated with EGR bung deleted and filled. 3" exhaust with magnaflow muffler built by Randy's Custom Exhaust. 4" tips finish it off in the stock location. No cats.
Fuel system -
Stock fuel hat with dual walbro 255lph pump, stock lines, with 97 F150 rails and aftermarket regulator and 60lb injectors.
Also under the hood is braided 3/4" intercooler lines and a JLP street reservoir to maintain washer fluid.
Transmission -
DMP stage 3 built 4R100 with an 11" circle d specialties billet converter that stalls at about 2800 rpm. Transmission and converter went in spring of 2010, about 7500 miles ago.
It has a new driveline from Drivelines NW.
Rear End -
Rear end was rebuilt at 103,000 miles with all new gears and bearings and a Detroit Tru-Trac was added.
Suspension -
Hotchkis TVS kit, consisting of front coils, rear leaves and front sway bar.
Fusco Fab traction bars and panhard bar.
Exterior -
Cervini's Cobra R hood
Clear Corners
Black tail lights
New OEM bed cover.
2004 Wheels with Nitto NT05 tires with about 1000 miles on them.
99 lightning grills painted gloss black.
Interior -
New black carpet
Corbeau LG1 seats with expedition center console.
3 gauge pillar with boost, fuel pressure and aeroforce interceptor(currently broken). Mounted in the center console is an NGK AFX Powerdex wideband.
New floor mats from Chickenears(no longer made)
Aftermarket deck, alpine type r components and JL audio subwoofer.
I am sure there is more I am missing. You have to see the truck and drive it to appreciate it.
The exterior is probably a 7 of 10, as the front has a fair amount of rock chips and such, along with scratches and such that are normal for a truck of this age and mileage.
The interior is all like new and less than a year old.
Truck is remote tuned by JJ @ WMS. Tune is very safe, afr is solid and timing is 11* on pump 92.
Has not been on a dyno in current configuration.
Made ~480whp with a Magnum Powers supercharger @ 12psi, short tube headers and 2.5 exhaust.
Truck also trapped 115 with a ported eaton and 2.5" exhaust.
I have a few parts I can include with the sale for the right price.
IW billet balancer with super duty hub and metco adapter
Metco 6lb lower ring
Upgraded return line for fuel system.
the truck has no egr, no cats and no way to re-install an egr, so if you live with emissions, this truck would be a long shot.
Truck is fast, loud, and turns a lot of heads. I just don't drive it, have 6 other rigs and need to thin out the fleet.
