Just everyones best times are? mine so far was a 7.1, before my cust perf tune :woot:

8.2 was the best I got on the Expedition, but we've got 3.31 gears and big, heavy tires. 7.0-7.5 Seconds seems about normal for many trucks.

Woo cant wait to see if the little old 4.6 can't break into the 6's pretty soon here :woot:

:disbelief: dang and 8.5 is my record. Bummer. lol

Yikes :shrug: could be that brush guard weighing you down? my truck ran 8.6 stock well with the cai and cat back... You might not be holdin your tongue right

It might but I doubt it. I know its heavy but its not THAT heavy. I'm a skinny gringo and I can lift it. lol

I was getting 9's before the programmer, then 8.5-9 with the canned tunes (all three, but with lvl 1 & 3 modified). I've also been getting the same numbers with Bill's performance tune. I was kinda hoping for the occasional 7 but I guess that the "no replacement for displacement" hold true for my truck.:sigh: Price I pay for having the 4.6 I guess. Not that I dont like Bills programming, I definitely like how it shifts. Glad the loud pipes and other stuff scare away most of the ricers over here. :giggle:

Hmmm idk what to tell you my 4.6 runs like new at 103k... though i never had it when it was new :cry-blow: haha, now the only problem i run into is traction off the line. My back right always breaks traction off the line which slows me down :cursin:. I know what youre talking about with scaring away the ricers! nothin beats the roar of a super 44. woo i was a poet and didnt know it!:thumbs up yellow:

I also have the 3.55 LS in the back which I'm betting makes a real difference on the 0-60's and 1/4 mile. Wasn't designed for acceleration as much as the 3.73's and 4.10's, but it works amazing off the road. Just the blacktop where I'm having trouble :cursin: No power on dry and WAY too much on wet. lol I dont mind the wet driving as much though, before all this rain we've been in extreme draught. At the moment I'm running straits with a turn down under the cab/bed section. Ford was cheap enough to just put an 8 inch extension sleve with a 2.5 inch pipe clamp instead of running the main pipe all the way, but it worked out for me. lol

Does anyone else have good times with the 4.6? If so what axle?

How can i check which gears i have?

on the door, at the "bottom" of the sticker.
This has a list of the codes and what they mean

BTW, thinking about moving to a new thread so we dont run off on a tangent with this one, or send me a PM

I have a 03' FX4 with a 5.4 and 3.55ls rearend. Cai and Exhaust and Gryphon using canned tunes. Using the tow tune the best 0-60 I got was a 8.62... After seeing people getting mid 7s to high 7s, to me that is horrible.. And I don't break traction either.. Feels like I lose power of the line, like it lags. And then it lags at 55mph..

My buddies 04' FX4 with exhaust and Edge ran a 7.6, he just installed a CAI and ran a 7.2...

I just tried 93 octane and I was getting 8.3-8.7 on the 93 canned performance and 87 performance with the timing bumped up. Oh well, kinda glad I didn't sink money into a 93 custom performance with numbers that wont to move below 8, but it is still a big improvement from the 9 to 11's I got stock.

A little update..

Everything is the same but I have custom tunes. I was able to run a 0-60 in 7.8 seconds the other morning. Chirped my tires and that was on 87 perf. tune.

If 7.0-7.5 is normal.. I feel slow now. :cursin:

When you guys are getting low 7's, mid 7's is that on 91/93 oct perf. tune??

Maybe I should fill up with 91 oct and try my 91 oct perf. tune. And see if it is quicker..

Just to clarify things.
AZFX4 has a 5.4 2V 2003.
Longshot270 has a 4.6 2V 2004+?
Fordkindofguy has a 4.6 2V 97-03.

Not trying to single out AZFX4 but to my recall the most fx4's came with 3.73's
with limited slip?
I'm only going by what I used to own. I used to have an 03 fx4 5.4 2v 3.73 LS northland edition. Back in the day when I got it brand new the 3.73 was the only standard gear I could get.

AZFX4 Try your 91 custom perf tune and see how you do.

I've got a 2008 with the 3.55 LS. My best 0-60 time is an 8 flat. :twitch: I look at the 1/4 more because it covers more of the gears and power band. There I'm getting 16-16.2 consistently. Not the best times but my truck isn't for racing even if it does like to eat a ricer ever so often.:evillol:

Oh, my truck is a Supercab FX4 with 3.55ls..

Even with 3.73ls I would think I'd be quicker. But Supercab FX4's came with 3.55ls. Supercrew FX4's came with 3.73ls.. weird right? I thought I had the 3.73ls until 1 day my buddy told me his 03 FX4 was 3.55ls. I called BS, looked at axle code, it was 3.55ls! :doh:

AZFX4
3.55's weird?
I think mine had 3.73's because it was a "Northland Edition" now that you really got me thinking about it. Those were produced/manufactored in the Missouri plant back in the day.

I know right.. I was :cursin: off when I found out. That was 1 of the reasons I wanted the FX4 because of the 3.73ls.. Funny thing is. My buddies 97' F150 5.4 Supercab Offroad Package, he says it has 3.73ls. WTF. :cursin:

But it's no big deal really.. When I lift my truck and toss 35" tires on it, I'll regear to 4.56.

There you go that's one way to look at it.

Not to make you mad or anything i just programmed mine too tranny only and ran a 7.6 with slip in K and N, rear cat delete Dual in 1 out Flowmaster...
put it only 87 towing and ran a 6.8 :skeptic: so you tell me lol

oh yea mines 97 150 with 5.4 with 166k miles on it Orig everything...

^^^^^^^^
What cab and what gears and tires?

Single cab long bed , 355 gears, and 265/70/17 10plys the towing tune did do a little bit more spinning.. lol :evillol:

6.8?!?!?!? :drool2:

Your basically stock too huh. All I got is CAI, straight pipe, Gryphon with custom tunes. 3.55ls with 265/70/17 MT/R's.. 10ply. Son of a gun. lol.


I bet you'd run a crazy time on the high octane tune.. you should try it and let us know! Once my gas tank is low again, I'll fill it up with 91 oct and run my 91 oct performance tune.

i never let my tank get pass 3/4 lol that's just me tho.... i run it on 87 tow and i could tell a differance i still ran a 6.87 tho so imma call it 6.7-7.0 imma try 1/4 mile tommorrow ill let you know.

i racer once told me that there is always power to be made from exhast... straight pipe doesn't seem all that good to me.(but thats just me) i have a buddy with a 2001 F150 with a 55k rebuilt motor and my truck dusts him i think hes got a little taller tire tho a 285/70/17... you tell me whats going :/

I'll end up putting a Cherry Bomb Extreme on it probably pretty soon. But I don't think my time will be much quicker if any from 7.8.

Just to add another few notes:
1. The bigger your cab the heavier your truck. Even standard cabs with a long box are lighter than a super cab with a short box.
2. The 4X4 drive train components add additional weight and rolling resistance
3. Gearing and torque control can make a big difference also.

FYI

AZFX4 how did your truck take off did it spin alot or little or not at all?

And to add to that, I've noticed that the current weather(temp, humidity, barometric pressure, etc) and even more important fuel quality (not octane but how well it burns compared to other brands and batches) make a big difference. From the quickest to the slowest 0-60 times I have over a 1 second spread for my "best of the day" runs. The quickest was in 50˚ weather with a good batch of gas and the worst was 100˚+ with fuel that didn't seem to burn well. The daily records did improve with temperature but only when the fuel was good. I'm not so sure that temperature makes a big difference considering 50˚F air is only about .007 pounds per cubic foot denser than 100˚F air. But when our trucks bring in 200 g/s at WOT...Oh my, looks like I'm arguing with myself again. :rofl:
I wonder what our 0-60's would be at along the coast right now with denser air and a cold front that promises 19˚ tomorrow? :hehe:

And keep in mind that each truck is different, that is why we were all attracted to custom tuning. To use help improve (or remove) those little quirks.

I can do 0-60 in 1.5 sec sitting still in my driveway right now with the snowpack and ice on it!!!!!LOL's
8" of more snow coming tonight and tomorrow with winds up around 40mph+!
I won't be seeing to far ahead of the truck nose tomorrow either!

Yeah one of my old bosses built race cars and his wife's mustang does that when its 90 degrees. lol
Hmm, you might have improved air density if you suck in some snowflakes! :hehe:
I had a bad encounter with the day we had ice day a long time ago. I was messing around on my mountain bike and trying to slide so I hit the brake and insteak of breaking loose the back kept rolling and the front dug in. And I still dont think I slid. :disbelief:
Later found my back brake line was refrozen and my tires were in good shape. :hehe:
...somebody lied about the frozen stuff. lol

I chirped my tires. Nothing that would kill alot of time.

Your right. Mines 4wd and I have Mud Tires.. Supercab short bed.. DOH!

I just wanted to point out that we needed to come back and do a reality check and post up our equipment.
Apples to apples is a whole lot better to compare than grapes to melons.

Long time since i've been on the forum, Just to clear up what i'm running.

1. 2002 4.6L regular cab short stepside "lightning wanna be"
2. 3.31 gears
3. Si/Do flowmaster super 44
4. K&N 77series intake
5. 93Perf Custom tune
6. dad's old lightning bed cover... adds about 17hp at the wheels :D

All of these let me run a 7.13 0-60
I do have to control wheel spin though, if not i run about 7.9


Oh and just ticked 107k the other day :happy-dancing:

I realize it will add some time. But I thought the others had 4wd also. :shrug:
