Is anyone running their v-10 at the track what kind of times are you getting stock chipped blown anything

 

While it does give a respectable seat of the pants feel good performance, I don't really think too many of us here are racing our V-10. Since it only comes in the F-250 and larger, the heavy trucks are not much in the 1/4 mile. The aftermarket is not much help in the speed factor, very limited products out there. Plus Ford pretty much tuned the motor to it's peak performance limits. Far from being a Lightning.
However if you are looking for deep down hauling/towing grunt, that is capable of giving you a few hundred thousand miles (provided you maintain it) you have found your animal.
If you are looking for a Superduty truck that will blow the 1/4 mile, then the Powerstroke would fit the bill. However there are a number of tuned PSD's out there that have blown more than just the 1/4 mile. As well as a growing number of PSD owners that are learning the "If you are going to play, you going to pay" rule.

 

Last year I ran 15.01, 92mph. I added traction bars and Eaton PosiTraction since then. Will have to go to the track and see what it runs now.

 

hey let me know how that works are you going in 2wd or 4wd? i just got back from the track i ran a best of 14.009 trying to get a little more to hit 13's

 

That's haulin the mail, tell us about your setup......2wd or 4wd? what mods? what gear ratio? I'm real curious about a 13 second F250.

 

Me too!!! Tell me more

 

I have 2wd. Check my gallery for mods. What speed mods do you have?

 

i have a paxton blower putting about 14psi, gibson headers, dual exhaust no cats, 4.30 gears 4wd,160 thermostat, 39lb injectors, sct maf, 6.0 intercooler, on sunoco 110 race fuel, it makes 478hp 513ft lbs at the rear wheels it has a six inch lift but i race o a set of stock wheels and tires the race gas is good for half a second though and about 50 hp

 

Stock internals?? Even intercooled and w/ race fuel, that seems like alot of boost for a 9.2:1 motor. What year truck? Got any pics or video?? I'd love to see a blown V10 SD w/ a 6" lift, doing a burnout on it's way to a low 14 second pass.

 

Verrry Nice. I would be a little worried with stock internals. That is why I didn't put in Nitro.

 

get a nice video of the blown v-10 roasting a ricer or chipped diesel and put it online. imagine the responses

 

it is a 2000 and i have not replaced any spark plug threads yet either knock on wood. does anyone have a guess on what the stock internals can hold??? the only other way i can think of is to find out but i would rather someone know but prob not just thought i would ask. ill try and get a video in a couple weeks someone on here will have to fill me in on how to post ill get my buddy to race me in his 6.0 so us gas guzzlers can laugh about something

 

Check out the specs for a Lightning 5.4L, and multiple by 1.25 (10 cylinders compared to 8). I think they're doing it with stock connecting rods and pistons.

The only issue is the crankshaft when you get way up in the boost ... the V10 crank snout will not take the power required to turn the blower. Someone did actually make a support bearing for it... a while back.

 

Yeah, but a stock Lightning only makes 8lbs of very efficiently intercooled, boost on a 8.2:1 engine. And most guys that I know won't go over about 12lbs or so w/ stock internals. I'm curious about the 6.0L intercooler. Is it air-air or air-water? The Lightning is a air-water and will usually drop 80-100 degrees from the intake temps.

 

the intercooler is air to air on the dyno my intake temps were only at 70 to 80 degrees so it works well for what i need. krewet do you know who makes that support bracket or who to contact about it that sounds like something that would be a good idea
