Heys guys, I've been Surf'n round on here in the background for a few days now. Look likes some cool rides dwelling among us.

My Dually is a '94 Ford crew. It has a mild 557ci (plus L&L headers, Voodoo cam, etc.) with SDS injection. I had the tranny built and control it with a programmable Trans controller. I plan to drop it just a little but not dumped. My buddy just gave me 6 22.5 wheels that had sit'n around. I still have not decided if I am gonna actually use them. It rides so nice on 16s...

I will post some Pics later....

I say mild 'cause it doesn't need any more than 4000rpm to yank it around like a rag doll.

I actually gained 2 MPG over the 460. With full control over timing, fuel, locking the tran to make Overdrive a gear instead a weak spot to burn it up, you can gain more than just power. I get about 13-14 mpg if I can control my foot. It's just so hard to resist the urge to stab it and boil the tread. I can literally just tap the peddle and pitch it sideways. Lots of fun. I have been thinking of building a Turbo setup for it next. You never know when you may need more power.

Pics of the 557 or it didn't happen. Does it still have an E4OD?

Yah the trans is the factory rebuilt (upgraded everything) with a Baumman TCS to tune it. It has a cruising tune, a towing tune, and Manual shift (off the cruise control buttons) tuned in. No more of the dragg'n BS that Ford does and it tows my 32 foot race trailer like a train. I don't have to shift out of OD 'cause it's locked in as 4th gear... Towing a trailer at 80mpg and being able to take over cars without downshifting is unreal...
