Hi All
well its getting closer and just thought I would repost to update everyone
I guess I’m looking for advise on the aftermarket upgrades I am currently purchasing. Right now (1st wk Jan.04) The engine (5.4L Triton) is in the machine shop getting balanced, bored . The heads are getting exhaust porting and spark plug inserts.
I’ve already purchased the following;
JE Pistons -17cc dish 20 over
Manley H-beam rods
Comp cams 102200 (1:14)
Comp cams spring kit
Ford sprocket, spacer kit
ARP bolts Main/Stud

Billet trigger wheel
Cobra oil pan (7qt) & windage tray
main bearings / rod bearings
Auto Meter Gauges (Intake 2ch temp, Exhst 2ch temp,
Trans temp, oil pres., Boost/vac.20psi)

The following is slated in the near future:
DynaTech SuperMaxx 1 5/8" long tube headers
2 high flow catalytic converters ?
2 flowmaster mufflers ?
1 X pipe ?
BBK 75mm throttle body
ATI Procharger kit(stock 9psi boost)(polished)
Diablo 3 stage chip(2 custom)
Optima battery
BBK chrome valve covers

I’ve been looking at the infamous Level 3 Interceptor for the 4R70W, but I waiting for a quote from a local race shop first.
My trucks been down since May 03, I’ve done a lot of research on all of these parts, and most of their competitors as well. I have never done a build up like this, and would appreciate any input, suggestions or comments from all the Ford guy’s(and girls) out there.
Thanks to all

 

What is the actual compression ratio come out too with this combo?
I don't know how long that your tranny will hold up!!! They had to put the 4R100 with PowerStroke guts in it to keep it together behind the Lightning 5.4L.

compression ratio is (will be) 9:1 just a hair less than stock 9.3:1 ... The Level 3 interceptor boasts good up to 750 hp. There is still some confusion on my behalf which tranny I really have...Ford read me the #'s and said it was a 4R100, but the guy at the tranny shop swears up and down that it's a 4R70W. I've downloaded some trans oil pan dimentions and bolt patterns - when I go to the trans shop I will phyically check it out for my self

 

Is the tranny code in the door a "U"? If so, it should be a 4R70W.

well the truck is 30km one way, the engine 20km the other ..same with trans. but I do have the VIN# and Trans Tag#.. tommorro I will go visit the truck to measure for a custom gauge pod (in A/C vent) I'll get door #'s for my file
