Rafa!

 

rafa once its finished

 

OH YEAH Rafa for sure

 

RAFA HE DA MAN!!!!

 

I agree that Rafa has that in the bag Let me know when it's time for the "Best bang for the buck cost of hp" poll and then we can post cost and dyno numbers

 

Yeah def rafa if everything comes through. I just hope to get that intercooler kit and take advantage of my freakin 8psi pulley!

 

Maybe on this forum...

There are already 700-900rwhp 04 body styles out there....

I really dont care anymore about the power. No matter what you do its still a 5000lb+ brick

 

What doyou think about this BRICK ?

BRICK

 

I think its a race car....or truck. Whats your point? With enough HP and no consideration for street-ablity anything can go fast.

What would a Mustang with that engine run? IMO its stupid to build a race car out of a truck....if you want to go FAST start with something that you can actually make go fast.

 

And be like everyone elso with a souped-up Mustang...Being different is half the fun.

 

Rafa.

Exactly. Tell me how many 10sec Mustang II's you see cruising around on the streets these days. RamSS/T has a very good point though, if you want to go fast, it's insanely cheaper and easier and more forgiving on the chassis to do it in a lighter vehicle be that a VERY light truck or a car. Duh, right.

If you have a wad of cash just itch’n to be spent on something other than an investment, then yeah, you can make anything go fast. Better watch out though, 700hp isn’t what it used to be. Today factory cars are rolling off the assembly line with 600hp and a 5 year warranty (the new Viper). Force some air in a cheap small block and 700hp on pump gas isn’t the drain on the pocketbook as was in days gone by. At the shows, these trucks are sure to garner much deserved attention. On the street, they still better pick their prey wisely. Even with a 10 street second car, I’m still a bit gun shy with all the blown small blocks lurking around out there. I’m still N/A. Maybe one of these days I’ll take the plunge, but for now I’m still relishing in my EFI.

Hat’s off to those here that have squeezed some serious ponies out of the 5.4. I have to assume that anyone putting that sort of cash into a motor will have also made an equal investment in the ENTIRE drive train. This includes the obvious transmission upgrade, but also the axles, ring-n-pinion, drive shaft….

If you EVER consider running your truck at a real drag strip and you’re making well north of 500hp, you better make sure all those items are upgraded. I found out the hard way what happens when the tires DON’T spin……


If your truck will only see street time, then the shock to the drive train will be considerably less. BUT, all it takes is that one trip to the track to quell the curiosity.

 

I couldn't agree more...everybody knows these mustangs are fast, but to have a 6,000 pound heavy duty truck keep up with them and beat them in Rafa's case...Priceless...

Rafa will be HP king...
