89 f150

i have an 89 f150 with the i6. and it seems like it has way more power then the 150 it says it puts out stock. cause some modified civic tried to race me, and i blew him away, even with the way the truck is geared. it has true dual exhaust and thats all thats been done to it

I know what you mean...I have an 88' F-150 4.9 Liter with dual exhaust and glasspacks, I can't help but feel it's closer to to a strong 185 hp with a ton of torque than the rated 150. I regularly demoralize these rice grinder street racers who think they've got an engine under the hood when all they have are coffee can size noise maker mufflers.

Ford F-150's rule the road. God Bless Henry Ford

Ya'll gotta quit takin advantage of them poor misguided boys in them rice burners. They can't help it their daddys didn't teach them right. You got to let off and make em think they got the badest machines in the world. Otherwise the crazy b-----ds will kill somebody trying to prove they are faster. You already know your superior, you drive a Ford. I mean if you hit one of them going 60mph there wouldn't be enough left of them or their cars to pick up, and you might have only a bent bumper.
