Max lift for stock e7 valve springs
#16
Most "low RPM" truck cams are hardly worth upgrading over stock cams. You stick a truck cam in with 4.56 or 4.88 gears, you're just going to end up with a truck that runs out of steam real fast. 4.56 gears would be beyond fine with that higher RPM cam.
Yes, custom tuning can solve both the shift point issue and the rev-limit issue. You cannot swap a Foxbody computer, since your truck is a '96. It has to use a 96 and newer computer, and by '96 the Mustang had switched to the 4.6
Lead head, that is really good info! I've been searching forums trying to figure out exactly where the rev limit and shift points are at and you just answered my question without having to ask!!
So I guess now the question is, is the rev limit and shift points something that can be moved via having someone tune the truck? I did plan to have it dyno tuned once I get everything sorted out.
Or would it be possible to replace the stock f150 ecu with a fox body ecu that is from a 5.0 automatic car?

That's what I was thinking, I have been thinking about going with 4.56 but I do drive this 30 miles on the highway when I decide to take it to work and I'm not sure how well the 4.56's will like highway cruising. I was thinking I would use the 4.10's and if highway speeds gave me a managable rpm then I would think about going with a 4.56.

I was thinking the same thing about the stock truck cam and 4.56+ gears, I don't think that would help me achieve what I'm trying to do at all. Thanks for the info on the fox body computer, I didn't even think about it needing to be obd2 compatible so yeah that wouldn't work, I will just have it fixed in the tune when I am able. Thanks for your help!
