i can build a 4 cyl to turn 9k rpm and make 345 hp, so it should outpull your v10 too shouldnt it? it doesnt matter that it only has 200 lbs of tq because it has more hp. right? when it comes to comparing the v10 to a diesel you v10 guys say the v10 is better because it has more hp. but when someone brings up the tundra(which has more hp than the v10) you say the v10 is better because it has more torque. so which is it?

Wait a damned minute....you HAVE an Xcal device. Go DATALOG exactly the same stuff I have before and compare. That's as close as is logistically possible at the current time.

WOW! 109 pages and over 1600 posts, and no one is giving in yet! I will say this. The trucks in my signature, my 97 is my work truck, utility bed, welder, air compressor, cutting torches, tools etc. It's an F-450, 15,000lb GVWR, and it weighs around 13,000lbs the way it sits. I average 12.5mpg, and if you look at the mods I have done on it, it pulls great for a work truck. Fact is, it pulls great period! I have nothing against a gas engine at all, but I bet you can not get a gas engine to do what it does on the same amount of fuel. I've had the truck for 2 and a half years, and I have put over 140,000 miles on it. It has 255,000 miles on the clock right now. Wish it was a manual tranny truck though,,,,,,

V10's Just need one little black Mod...
I just love that thing = Makes a nice desktop. Where do we get one?

Ford 1999-2004 6.8L/V10/2 Valve Supercharger
Whipple Industries
Whipple Industries, the leader in supercharging performance with industry leading technology, developed this bolt-on system for optimum performance and reliability unmatched by any competitor. With the Whipple twin-screw supercharger, boost is instant allowing for more low-end torque and incredible throttle response. Power from idle to redline, a unique feature only available to the Whipple Charger. The 6.8L SC system creates incredible low and mid range torque, great for all towing conditions.

With incredible reliability and fuel economy in mind, Whipple implemented a specially designed air-bypass system that allows the SC to only take approx. 1hp to operate under cruising conditions. This equates into incredible fuel mileage and unsurpassed reliability, simply years ahead of the competition. This is only possible because of Whipple’s revolutionary interface computer system that works with the stock CPU taking care of all the necessary engine functions to remain emissions legal and maintain proper operation in all conditions. The interface system constantly monitors the oxygen sensor and knock system outputs for OEM like reliability and safe operation. If a problem comes about, the “active boost control” system will decrease boost instantly (a Whipple exclusive) so the engine acts as if it were naturally aspirated, all but eliminating undue harm to the engine. Each system offers up to 50% increase in power, while still maintaining unsurpassed reliability and low noise levels. No one in the world combines so much quality and technology into a complete bolt on and simple to install supercharger system then Whipple Superchargers. While others claim, Whipple delivers!

WHIPPLE SUPERCHARGERS EXCLUSIVE FEATURES:

• Twin screw Whipple Supercharger
• Most efficient supercharger on the market
• No “ancient” rising rate fuel pressure regulator
• Whipple Superchargers “Interface” computer system
Up to 50% horsepower increase
Up to 50% torque increase throughout entire RPM range
• Instant boost at the touch of the throttle
• Flat torque curve for excellent towing power
• Incredible acceleration and top end power
• Whipple Superchargers air-bypass system
• Self-contained lubrication system
• High flow air filter system
• Lowest noise level in industry
• 50-State Emissions Legal
• All parts meet or exceed OEM specifications
• Fully adjustable boost levels
• Active boost control for unsurpassed reliability
• No internal modifications
• Completed installation looks factory installed
• Kits come complete with all necessary parts and hardware
• 1 year warranty


Lets get a FTE mass buy





I just noticed the 2nd 230 v alt. must be a cop engine...

Get ready for some mathematical equations...

I posted something along the same lines a little while ago, and got a bunch of hp and torque math. Thread has been so busy I havent had a chance to catch up on everything yet though.

Oh and I used a 500 horse honda civic as one of my examples haha.

I guess now we need an ad for a larger turbo with sticks and a tuner for a PSD.

i expect all sorts of equations and stuff like that. equations dont pull trailers though. all you ever hear in these debates is hp this and hp that. hp is good for making you go fast but if it amounted to a hill of beans in towing then you wouldnt see 400 hp big rigs or 40 hp bulldozers.

if you want to keep it "equal" then detune the v10 and then put the turbo or supercharger on it. thats the advantage of the turbo diesel. when youre not using the turbo you are running on much less power. helps save fuel and help the longevity of the engine.

take my turbo coupes for example. the normal 2.3 of the day had about 120 hp and my turbo coupe has 190 hp. ford didnt just slap a turbo on the 120 hp 2.3 and call it a day. they detuned it down to about 80 hp and then put a turbo making 20 psi on it to bump it up to 190 hp. that way you get the performance of 190 hp when you get on it, but the gas mileage of 80 hp under normal driving conditions. its the same thing comparing a 7.3 non turbo to a 7.3 turbo.

like john said though, if you want to start modding the engines then put some info up there about the diesel too. once you start modding them this isnt even a debate.

Why ?
I'll post it here and get ALL kinds of excuses, reasons, stimulus, about ...

so why bother ?

If ANYONE is ANYWHERE DFW let's have some fun

I DON'T know what's, what - just offering, ONCE AGAIN, to do a head to head - that's all....

we all know a 12 second run @ sea level is WAY different from a 12 second run at 10,000 feet (or at least most of us do )

Hey, I'm all for doing whatever you want to make your truck or car run better. Adding a super charger or bigger turbo, have at it. It's your vehicle, so do what pleases you! Don't worry what the other guy/gal has. Only one person has to be happy with the vehicle, and that's the owner.
