Hey everyone been creeping here for awhile and decided to get active. I'm in Fredericksburg and lifelong Ford guy current ride 2011 F-150 XLT 4X4 5.0 Blue Flame No mods its a daily driver. Hope to get some lift just worried about MPG. CFL04 of course is my initals plus my last ride 04 Mustang GT I have never owned bought anything but a ford for myself. I do own a Mazda but thats the daughters car. So if your in the Burg and see a Blue Flame 150 give a honk.

Thanks for stopping by this morning! Post up some pics of that Blue Flame (great color BTW) in the VA truck pics thread. Glad to see another Ford guy taking the plunge on a new truck.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

The Coyote is awesome doesn't get the mileage ford claims but it pulls a trailer without a problem. Its got plenty of power to spare. Anybody have suggestions for exhaust I would like to be a little louder.

Magnaflow and MBRP have a couple nice systems for the 5.0L. I've always liked the nice mellow tone of the Magnaflow.

Welcome, nice to see a local guy!

Johnny Lightning and a few other tuners have really opened up that 5.0. There was an extended cab at the track last time I went that was pulling mid-12's with just a few bolt on mod's. The Magnaflow sounded pretty good on that truck. I loved the way Magnaflows sounded on my truck, but just went for Bassani when I upgraded the headers & cats.
