Interesting vid

The new truck and the Saleen truck look really good. Are you suggesting a starting point of 450rwhp? With the ability to make upwards of 700 rwhp.

Pity they are so heavy......but the Gen 2's are getting old. What kind of target price for the new one? Whats the interior like?

BTW how do I get 740 hp out of my Lightning?

James,

Hey buddy the saleen truck we did there (the white one) made 466 RWHP. Now we wanted to advertise it as if you were going to take it to the dyno what it would make. So when we say 700 HP we mean at the tires! Now the option for that would be a GT500 engine with a Whipple 3.4 blower on it. Similar to this one here....

Yep..JDM does 4 valve 3.4 whipple motors - F150online Forums

Brians L has made 740 so far and we have some more room to play. WE are working on a new fuel pump system. We already had to go to 83lb injectors, a 2800 mass air, and bigger fuel rails.

yea i will. one day when i have nothing to do.

I would buy it based on the looks and performance. The one question mark though, is the price. How much would one of those sell for?

BTW, I've never gotten around to visiting JDM, but i got an email tune from you guys. Thanks

I think it's cool to have a new concept truck but it is hard to deviate from the thoughts and images of the Ford concept Gen 3. With that being said, I think the hood scoop on the 3rd silver is hideous.

ballpark pricing on the 700 hp set up would be nice and interior pics wanted on the white reg cab

CarolinaL

I would like to see interior pics as well to know the trim level of the truck. The extended cab is nice for the extra storage. It all comes down to price. Once you pass the 40k barrier you step into another realm and competing vehicles begin to gain more interest in that segment of the market. It's tough to compete with corvette and porsche performance, which both can be had for less than 50k. Once again, it all comes down to pricing. Good luck Jim.

Jim,

The white regular cab you are looking to produce is a nice looking truck. Is there anything done to the tranny to help it last with the extra power? Where does the exhaust exit? What kind of 1/4 mile times does it run?

Like CarolinaL said pricing is the big factor. I like it more than anything I've seen with the newer body style.

Best of luck bringing this to market,
Chuck
