want to smoke the tires 04 f150

[hunter69]

hey guys just got myself an 04 f-150 crew cab 4x4.
I used to own an old 86 super cab that was completly stock and it could smoke the tires anytime, now I am supposed to have a lot more power but can't do any tire smoking at all,, not even a little squeak...
I know 18 inches a harder to spin but come on!!
I have been thinking about getting the superchips programmer which would get rid of the speed limitations but will those 18" squeal whith this thing?
I dont want to do a thousand mods because most of the budget was blown on the truck itself and I dont want to get warranty problems but any pointers would help.

thanks in advance

let the flaming begin!

AAAAHHHH comon guys please be gentle I just want an opinion as to what to look into and what kind of gains can be expected from certain mods..

just put some oil under those tires and spin like no other or get some people to lift up the back

[JordanLotoski]

why do you wanna spin your tires???

[hunter69]

I am not a complete idiot guys,
I know I can put a high flow air filter and mabey a throttle body spacer and then either use superchips programmer or a simmilar job and get some results but I geusse what I am really asking is "is it worth it".
And as for smoking the tires ,, I it means that if a can actually spin these 18"ers it means that there would have to be a dramatic change in the power at the line...

Please somebody has to have had experience with these programmers or even with this truck in perticular.

It is very dissipointing that my old 86 (6cyl) was better at the line then this baby that had a sticker of over $50,000.00 canadian.

retard....

Your old truck likely had an open diff. Easy to spin one wheel.

Maybe your new truck has traction control or LSD.

[hunter69]

no actually both have limited slip.

i know its possible to spin the wheels on an '04 F-150 crew cab. i fingered a guy who nearly hit me and to show his "manliness" he pulled away spinning his wheels.

"sorry guys i didn't know this was the kind of forum I was dealling with here. All I was asking was how to get more hp's at the line and instead of getting help I get a bunch of sarcastic remarks."

Very helpfull discussions here. I will be sure to tell all my friends.

i would guess traction control as I can't spin my tires either with my 03 silverado 5.3L.. unless i'm going 50 around a corner and i floor it.. but then the traction control kicks in again

ya cuz 350zs are really great for the winter and they have SOOOOO much cargo space! SWEEET

If you just want to burn rubber and not go fast... go buy a linelock.

[QuasarCav]

Drive the truck against a wall. Hold on tight and floor it.

Have one of your "buddies" hold the truck for you, gun it real hard and try not to run him over.

Superchips are alright but you gots to run premium gas after. So thats kinda weak. Id go with exhaust, intake and a throttle body spacer. Unlimited Performance and Exhaust is really good for that kinda stuff.

Actually you asked "want to smoke the tires 04 F150".

Is your new truck actually slower to say , 60 km/hr ??
Have considered the fact that with larger tires (and traction control ?) your new truck is getting better grip ,therefore accelerating better ??
How does the weight of the new truck compare to your old one ??
Were the tires on your old truck worn ??
How does the final gear ratio of your new truck compare to your old truck ??



If you want to get decent responses ,word the question better.

"want to smoke the tires of a 04 F150 " makes you sound like a 16 year old redneck.

How about " Would like to improve the acceleration of a 04 F150" ??


I'm guessing the bigger tires and probably a higher final gear ratio
in your new truck are making for sluggish starts.

Id go with exhaust, intake and a throttle body spacer.

Best bang for your buck is the the Superchips. It does Void your warrenty but can be easily removed before going to the dealership. After that exhaust, intake and TBS. I drove and modded a 2000 5.4L.
