What is broken in? My 08' just got to 20k, is it safe to assume that is broken in?

Haha, yeah I'm in the same boat, I went from a 94 2.3 ranger with 33's to the 4.6 F-150, feels like a rocket ship to me

I drove the Ranger to work yesterday because the F-150 was at the shop getting an exhaust system put on (Flowmaster 40 series SI/DO), and I felt like the Ranger was working really hard to drive 60-65 mph, feels a lot different lol.

Yeah I drove mine the other day and it felt sooo slow, and with it being a stick was funny to drive again. I think the top speed on my Ranger was 80 downhill haha

Just 2 more days and I can finally place my order for the Gryphon. Seriously can't wait.

Best 0-60 as of right now is 9.12 on Gryphon stock level 2 but I can't find a place to do it without getting major wheel spin which makes my foot let up a bit without me thinking.

Once I get as much of this 87 octane out I'll be filling it up with 94 and setting it to level 3... then I might have to buy some new tires...

Oh and the belt chirp is awesome at wot when shifting. I have never owned a vehicle that was as fast as this thing is now. I forgot I had a V8 under the hood. I used to have a 1976 Chev C20 with a 350 and my little 281 Windsor out does it hands down now.

I checked mine, I am getting 7.63 for my 0-60. Im running a custom level 2 and have 33" Load range E. Does anyone know how to convert your tire size to the (mm) on the gryphon? When I do my conversion of 33" to mm I get 838.2mm. Something that I am missing?

Sure - the 838.2 is your tire's diameter in millimeters. You need the circumference, so multiply that by pi, which gives you 2633.3 mm. But then, deduct some for "squish" (often about 3%) so multiply by 0.97 and you'll have 2554 mm, which is the size I'd try.

Another 4.6 guy over here.

My 0-60 is closer to 10 seconds I think !

Also on a 6" lift, and running 3.73 gears, true 35" tires load range E (heavy SOB's !) 18" rims, and no real power mods yet. Too many other projects going on right now.

If its dry when I get home, might hop in the truck to see what I can get. Been awhile.

5.4 in mine and did a 0-60 run got a 8.6X with 35's and 3.73 gearing yet the tire size was set at 23XX which is wrong so it should be better.
