FINALLY some pics of my new ride

[SaleenGT2001]

had it for 3 weeks and been working on it a LOT since then. i've added a few things and still have a good bit left to go. this is what it looked like when i took delivery in Atlanta 3 weeks ago.

and since then it has changed to this

this is what i've done so far

15% tint all around and 50% on the windshield
Spartan dashdaq running the 250 tune
S&B intake
ProFlo 5" DP back exhaust with DOC/DPF and muffler delete
MBRP 6" tip
tinted the tails. 3rd brake light and side markers
painted the factory lights "Harley style" with tinted reflectors
HID fogs and bixenon headlights in 5000K
stealth chrome signal bulbs
high idle mod
LED interior lights
painted tail gate handle and front and rear bumpers to match

FX4 decals are coming off tomorrow and being replaced with custom black/charcoal decals

thats all i can think of for now. next mods are either a 2.5 or 4.5 lift and MAYBE a set of black RockStars.

and as for the power, we ATTEMPTED to put it on the dyno last friday night. we couldnt get the optical trigger on teh crank to work right but we did get some HP numbers. not sure if they are 100% correct but for the mods it seems to be on par with what everyone else is making.

it made 515 rwhp and the rwtq should be in the high 900-1050 range. hopefully gonna dyno it again this weekend and get some better runs

got this less than a week after buying it

Outstanding. Sometimes I wish I would have gotten an '08 F250 FX4, but I love my '09 F150 FX4. My next truck will definately be a PSD though. I hear really good things about the PSD too! The white looks awesome on that big boy. If it were my truck I would do a 4" lift and some 35's. You don't really need too much more than that unless you are planning on offroading the shiite out of it. Hell even a 2.5 level and 35's would work, but I prefer the looks of the 4". Anyways man congrats on a bad ass truck!

Sick! Nice job on not wasting any time on it.

That power is nuts, especially the torque. Bet it feels pretty sick having a huge truck like that move out.

Sweetness. Great looking truck that will run faster than a majority of the cars on this site. I love some diesels.

My brother (with the 7.3) rode up to Indiana this weekend with the guy who has the fastest 7.3 in the world. Set some records somewhere in the 6.5 second range (1/8 mi). Said there were lots of sick 6.4s, too.

Nice mods and glad to see that you are making progress on the new toy.

I am just wondering what your egt's are at peak power. Try to never go over 1600* or even 1500*.

I also wonder if your going to do an egr block off or did the tuner turn it off ?

Nice power too ! The new diesels really make the old ones seem way underpowered.

If I remember correctly, diesel torque is about 1.75 to 1.85 hp, give or take a little, which is within your range.

Just be nice to the trans now and that truck should run a long time.

i have the warning set at 1400* it has only gone off once and that was a long interstate pull. at WOT the highest i usually see is around 1200 and i dont stay in it for a long time. i've only got the truck to around 100 so far. the tune disables the EGR while driving. you can hear it cycle at idle and it makes the exhaust sound like a hair dryer! i was actually surprised how quiet it is even with a straight pipe exhaust. i can barely even hear it in the cab going down the road.

i still have 76K warranty left so i plan on keeping it like it is now till that runs out, then getting a suncoast trans, converter and headstuds and stepping up to the KEM 345 tune

OMG.....that truck looks so good!

 

[AntiRice98]

That's awesome man. Diesel trucks are insane. We just got my buddy's dodge to run 8.1 in the 8th a couple weeks ago. Insane

 

[slayerripkdc]

What do those trucks run and trap in the 1/4?

What do those trucks run and trap in the 1/4?

The 6.4s can hit 12s easily, normally at around 102-105.

 

[westgastang5.0Coyote]

Sick looking truck!

 

[Jagerbeast]

I like what you've done to it, looks wayyy better

 

[mustangman9812]

Sweet Truck, and you cant even hear them run. Quietest Diesel i have ever heard

 

[N8Dogg98]

Wow, what a nice truck. I would love to have one of them!

Thats awesome......I love Ford trucks. Here is mine, been driving about 4 months now. Not a super duty though

 

[SaleenGT2001]

i looked at getting a new F150. i could have bought a brand new one for what i paid for my 250 with 21K on it. when it came down to it the idea of 2 turbos and turning it up 350 HP with just a tuner swayed me to the diesel.

not to mention that it went from getting 13 MPG to 22 on the highway with the 250 HP tune! all that power and great mileage for a tank isnt too bad

 

[trombonedemon]

1000 lbs. of torque, what in the hell are plan on pulling that much power, I wonder how much torque does the 18 wheelers have, bye the way, turbos on a diesel sound like American Muscle Vehicular Coitus.
