about 90 mph

2006
Supercrew FX4
5.4 3v
3.73 gears
Roush Supercharger @ 6 psi, Magnaflow Dual Exhaust
275/65/18 A/T tires


had just installed the blower and wanted to see how much performance she had gained. I stayed in the throttle too long and didn't realize how quickly she got up there. and I was distracted by the huge almost 30ft burnout + cloud of smoke

She still had alittle left in her but not a low slung car so the ride was abit floaty if you know what I mean.

Have not pushed my 06 scab yet. Maybe 85ish.

I prefer to reach the speed limit extremely fast...but not actually speed.

Had my truck for 3 yrs. Pretty sure that's the fastest it ever went. I've been 130+ in a truck before and decided that high speed stuff is for cars.

only reason that happened is because I was listening to the 5.4 roar and the blower whine was just so wicked

103mph on a "dead" dragstrip. (per laser speed detection device)

A friend of mine had "bought" the strip for the day and was trying out some motor-mods. So I figured what the heck....

Oh... I started somewhere in the staging area (b4 the tree) and hit 103 a ways after the 1/4mile mark. I made a few passes to get the feel before hitting that mark.

Nothing special on pavement, maybe 90mph? I'm more proud of what I've done on the sloppy forest roads after it's rained. My baby will soak up the corners on a muddy road at 50+.

2005 Screw Fx4, 5.4L, 35" Nitto Mud Terrains, 3.73's, 4x4, no motor mods.

She does cut out at 100, but i accelerated down a very long steep hill. haha, it did reach the 110mph by the bottom. I hit the limiter and took my foot out of it and coasted the rest of the way. The hill was very steep. going down into the Illinois River bottoms. Momentum was enough to push the extra 10mph
