Someone needs to take that stuff off one night and put stock stuff back on... I'm usually not one to give people **** about their car but that thing looks weird. And hood pins? I really don't see the need since our cars have safety latches... You know, the ones old old muscle cars would use because hood latches would fail and the hood would try to punch you in the face... I dunno.

Dude its a bumper not a sticker. Everyone knows that bumpers ad 20 horsepower. Stickers aren't worth anything if they are on glass... It has to be vinyls on paint... and at least one must be a NOS sticker. Come on bud you must have a modification rules book somewhere... it should show it all in the appendices in the back of said book hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Aww a little 3.0... My buddy had a 02 single cab ranger with like a bazillion miles on a 3.0 and a 5 speed. We beat the living hell out of that thing and it never broke... decent choice.
Looks like a good turnout, hopefully everyone got their stuff on without too many hassles. Also whose black balt is that with the ricer body kit? And hood pins too?

Lol Yeah Im really liking this truck. Only sad part is no indash tach, But 50$ and a tach from autozone/pep boys will fix that. I need to know RPM's for highway To keep the rev's low for better MPG! Only thing that sucks is No E85 near me... But if i go visit my dad i can take a good 20$ off the cost to fill up! Lol!

SVT/ford makes a whipple blower, And this 3.0 is no joke once boosted and even better than i have a FFV for E85, Look up the noble handmade sports car's, They use a ford 3.0 vulcan v6 with a piston swap TT to make 400 Plus HP and TQ! A v-8 swap could be done but after all the custom work/new transmission/driveline/rear end it would better and more cost effective IMO to have an S/C or T/C v-6 and install a limited slip, plus it's more unique! Ive seen used chargers go for about 1k, And a budget build making 8 psi on a stock motor/clutch/transmission with everything holding just fine!
