You would have a pretty good chance, those 5.4's are not the fastest things on the road.

My friend has a 4.6 f-150 and he gets me for like 10 foot then its like a crotch rocket vs a geo metro. The hemi has a lot of power, once you open her up it helps a lot. With your tuner your shift points are limitlessly better. I didnt notice much power increase but the tranny shifts so so much better

So far he has been quiet cocky about it and has even put up some cash.

So I'm interested to know (as I have very little experiance) Would it be benifical to be in 4x4 and have tow/haul on (for added tracktion).

I have no idea how the expedition will compair to the hemi, think he stands a chance?

What do you think???
Check out my post from about a month ago. It was against a 5.4 ford with a chip. All I have is drop in K&N air filter. Oh, plus, don't use your 4x4. Dude, your on the road and will ruin it.
