another idi build

so heres the back story. my buddy travis has a 93 f150 he plows with and is a general work truck. he has been through a few idis and none ever were up to par with mine. so now i have the turbo wrapped up he wants to take my truck out and see what kind of power it makes. so im going to talk him into building an idi.

to start wed get a cam, comp 910s, new ip, ats setup like mine with either t70 or s263? and a good rebuild of the motor. hed like 300 hp or so and a manual trans. this shouldnt be hard to get for him.

anyone have any input to help convince him let me know and well get another idi out running psds.

He proudly claims how his F150 engine is the same as the lightning minus the supercharger LOL and his CAI, Exhaust, and superchips pushes him well over 300HP LOL He can do a 4wd launch with his auto, blah blah blah.

Today was the day. He got so pissed he didn't even stop afterwards, and when we met back up at my neighbors tried to fist fight me because he was so butthurt LOL

and yes, make fun of my neighbor for sounding like a puss in this video.

Oddly enough there isn't a BMW for the S256, but the ETT wheel for it is no slouch.

Oh really? My mistake, i just assumed that BEP probably covered all the S200 / S300 bases. Id think the S256 would still probably be fine, just never seen a map for one. 110cc and S256 should put you there. S363 would be a little slugish, ask justin.

You'll never find a 4x4 dually pickup. Factory never made them. Only conversion companies like Centurion did. The only 4x4 dually's that left the factory were Cab and Chassis trucks. Wrong rear end to be able to put anything other than a flat bed on it.

There is a S256 turbo map on page 1 of the IDI turbo thread:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...er-thread.html
Also I posted the Borg Warner 317222 map which is a type of S256... Aka Aurora 2000...
