I consistantly pull 9.20's in the 1/8 with my 95 F-150 XLT, straight cab, short bed 302, auto. It's enough to put a few lengths on the ricers every thursday night.

Sorry Mr I don't have any reason to dyno my 94 4x4 pickup. I don't have it to race or even to pull much. It was one of the cheaper things i could buy for it to maybe give a small boost. If you reread my post i didn't claim any spectacular gains, it just seemed to maybe clean it up a little bit. I don't want to get in any argument, but it is what i felt it did and i believe i do have my right to an opinion and it is just that, that i put in my previous post. If someeone wants to believe either of us they can and if not they can go do their own research. I'm sure there is plenty of information to be found.

 

Like I said, its probably a bitch install btu an F-250 axel would be your best bet. I don't know if you can get one for under 600, but start looking. If you want pulling, you want greater ratios. If you can strap 10k pounds behind with a 302 and a 22 turns of the shaft for one turn of the wheels (or whatever the ratio is) You can out pull anybody with a 351 and F-150 axle, hell with a 460.

 

I like the idea of the MSD distributor, you might also want to get a ignition control system, those range in price but they can be worth the buck. Another idea depending on the year of your truck might be one of those computer programmers, they can also change your automatic trans shift points if you have an auto.

Personally I like bolt-on performance my 1984 F-150 4x4 can almost always kick the A's of little riced out cars. This is what I've got going there.

Mallory Distributor, Ford Racing wires, E3 plugs (worth the extra cash), Hooker Super comp shortys w/ sing out 3" exhaust, 33 inch MT tires, stock coil, 750 CFM Holley carb (obviously your truck is EFI but I'll toss this in here for giggles). Now my gear ratio is still the stock 3.55:1 and I'm using a T-18 4speed stick tranny, and it can and does tow anything. I towed my 1988 F-250 about 100miles no problem. This is of course due to the rediculously low gear ration of the T-18. Changin the rear-end ratio isnt all that hard, just try not to make a mess with the 90wt.......

I will agree with the other guys, the TB spacers...are nothing but 5 pound paper weights; they might look cool and all, but I installed one on my 1996 F-150 with a 300 stright 6, and I noticed a decrease in fuel economey, and an annoying whirling noise...I returned it.

 

My mods are in my sig. Not a huge incrase but it helps me when getting on the interstate....

 

What kind of difference would these make?

 

I picked up a free 351w block. I'm going ot build it up until the 351 in my truck blows. Another thing you can do, get a better air flow system. The intake on the stock trucks is insanely long and twisted.

 

a gear change would affect his SD correct?

 

SD would not be affected by a different gear ratio
