Pretty much all I will be doing to my new 'toy' 1997 f250 w/ 6"lift and 33's will be intake, exhaust, tony wildman custom tunes, and stage I sticks. I'm thinking about going with the rosewood budget build stage 1's cuz the injectors in my truck are BRAND new, and I can afford down-time on my truck.

So, pro's and cons to my selection? Or are there no cons? hehe


Also, what kinda power am I looking at with the exhaust/intake/custom tunes/stage Is?


Matt

 

No cons with that decision... You're looking at 300-325ish rwhp with that setup...

 

What about tq? I really give a rats *** about hp, it's all in the tq baby



As long as this thing is faster than my tricked out 12v I'll be happy hehe

 

High 600's

 

how tricked out is your 12v?

 

hi 600's to the wheels? So, say, low-mid 700's to the crank?

1997 dually 3500, 12v, 5spd, cc/lb, boost elbow 20psi, silencer delete, #5 fuel plate 3/4 forward, afc full forward, tuned starwheel, bhaf, straight pipe, timing 16.5. It was pretty quick.. I could get it sideways in 3rd gear pulling away from the tollbooths with 1200lbs of sand bags in the bed haha

Thanks for the link man. Those trucks are VERY close to what I'm gonna be doing.

 

Yes sir, That's why I posted it. That should give you an idea of the numbers, That truck is similar to what you're looking at.. Only difference is it has electric fuel and an intercooler.

 

Ya I noticed that. I'm wondering how much the e-fuel and IC helped those numbers out though.

Either way, I'm not buying this to build a rocket or anything... just trying to do as much as I can with as little as I can. It's namely gonna be a Jeep recovery rig and an overall fun-truck.
