### Introducing VM P’s 11-Second Ford Truck: A Family-Friendly Beast of Fun

Hey, what's up, guys? David here, and I'm hanging out with VM P. We were just at Mustang Week, having a blast, when VM P texted me late last night saying, "Hey, we're in Georgia. You want to drive my eleven-second truck?" Of course, I said yes—how could I resist the chance to get behind the wheel of something this insane? Here we are now, and let me tell you, what’s under this truck is nothing short of impressive.

### Under the Hood: The VMP Stage Three Supercharger System

So, peering underneath this beast, I see that it’s got our very own VMP Stage Three supercharger system. This setup uses the Chin Three head unit, which I think you just drove in JD's GT500 at Mustang Week. If memory serves right, that thing was like a freight train on wheels—crazy fast and utterly ridiculous! But here’s what blows my mind: you’d never guess it by looking at this truck. Without the delivery decals on the side, no one would have any idea this thing can do 11 seconds. It’s such a perfect blend of family vehicle practicality and pure driving fun.

---

### The Perfect Balance: Family Vehicle Meets Street Machine

This truck is a prime example of how you can have it all. You can cruise around town with the top down, enjoying the refined, near-silent operation of this VMP blower system—no ear-piercing noises or vibrations to disturb your ride. But when you hit the gas, boy, does it ever respond! It’s like a more refined lightning bolt on wheels, especially with that back seat and all. No floating around or feeling like you’re about to lose control here—it’s smooth, predictable, and absolutely thrilling.

---

### The Journey Begins: From Mustangs to Trucks

It all started in 2015 when Ford introduced the aluminum-body truck, which shared a lot of DNA with the Mustang’s Coyote V8 engine. That’s when the potential for serious performance became clear. VM P recalls how they got roped into this by Rauch, who dared them to take an F-150 and supercharge it. The rest is history—a testament to what happens when you embrace peer pressure (in the best possible way).

---

### A Closer Look at the Engine: Minor Differences, Major Potential

Now, let’s talk about that engine. It’s a Coyote V8 with minor differences compared to its Mustang counterpart—like compression ratios and cam specs. These tweaks mean it doesn’t make as much horsepower as a similarly modified Mustang engine, but what it lacks in raw power, it makes up for in versatility. This truck is capable of producing 715 horsepower at the wheels, which is no small feat. VM P mentions that they occasionally splash some boost Dane to keep the octane levels high, especially since they drive this thing daily with 45,000 miles on the clock.

---

### Drag Week: Why They Didn’t Run

Speaking of driving it every day, VM P and crew made their way down from Mustang Week to Drag Week, but there was one catch—they weren’t allowed to run. The reason? Chuck (the truck) didn’t have dry green heels, a requirement for running at the event. The organizers wanted drag radials, which aren’t feasible for this four-wheel-drive monster. With 30-inch factory wheels and no suitable drag radial available, it was an easy decision not to let them run. VM P jokes that they’re okay with it—they’d rather be here talking about the truck than tearing up a track.

---

### Pushing the Limits: Redline at 7725 RPM

One of the most exciting parts of modifying and tuning a vehicle is pushing past factory limits, and this truck is no exception. VM P mentions that the engine’s redline is set at 7725 rpm—something they had to watch closely during their test drives. Back in high school, VM P was amazed when his first car hit 6000 rpm; now, seeing the needle go past 7725 feels like a small victory. The Coyote loves to rev, and this truck is proof that with the right setup, it can handle some serious horsepower.

---

### Fun Fact: Raising Hell in 4th Gear

VM P shared an hilarious story about flooring it in 4th gear on a stretch of road, hitting warp speed, and barely coming to a stop before traffic got in the way. It’s moments like these that remind you just how powerful—and fun—this truck is. With the right tuning, VM P can even tow on the same setup they use for racing. Talk about versatility!

---

### The Evolution of V6 Performance

To give some perspective on where we’re at today, let’s take a trip back in time to VM P’s first car: a 2000 V6 Mustang with an automatic transmission. Back then, VM P and his buddies would hit Orlando Speed World with their modified cars, running times like 14 seconds with full bolt-ons. That was respectable for the time, but it wasn’t enough. VM P took things to the next level by building his own twin-turbo kit, eventually hitting 10.9 seconds with the second version of his build.

---

### Building a Legacy: From V6s to Modern Monsters

Fast forward to today, and VM P is married to another car enthusiast who runs her own V6 Mustang modified to the nines. Together, they’ve built a legacy in the car community, proving that even a v6 can be turned into something incredible with the right modifications—like an SRT-10 truck or a supercharged F-150.

---

### The Future of Ford Performance: Stage 3 and Beyond

VM P’s current project is this VMP Stage Three supercharger system, which uses the new Gen 3 head unit. This setup delivers around 700 horsepower on pump gas with stock internals, making it a force to be reckoned with. Even better? It still has a back seat—proof that you can have both performance and practicality in one vehicle.

---

### Closing Thoughts: A Special Thanks and Call to Action

David wraps up the video by thanking VM P for letting him drive this beast of a truck, calling it an absolute pleasure. He also thanks the crew and friends who made the experience possible. Finally, David plugs his channel, encouraging viewers to tune in every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for more car-related content.

So there you have it—an 11-second Ford truck that’s as fun to drive as it is practical, all thanks to the magic of the VMP Stage Three supercharger system and VM P’s passion for pushing boundaries. Stay tuned for more updates on this project and other exciting builds coming down the line!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what's up guys david here i'm with vm p all of the MP but we were recently mustang week he texted me like at 9:00 last night hey we're in georgia you want to drive my eleven second truck and I said absolutely so here we are and what's under the truck well it's got our VMP stage three supercharger system which uses our chin three head unit which I think you just drove one of those at Mustang week I did I drove it on JD's gt500 that used to be the VMP chin one that think it's like a freaking freight train it's ridiculous but it amazes me is that you look at this truck and had you not have like delivery on the side you would have no idea it could do 11 seconds brought everybody along with me to prove that this is how bad acid is I feel like this is the perfect compromise between like a family vehicle and a fun vehicle you cruise around you can't even hear the blower you can't even hear anything and then you just barely get in it need hear it a little bit but it's like a more refined lightning almost yeah with a back seat with a back seat without floating all over the place and feeling like you're gonna die okay 2015 four came out with the aluminum body truck and it's got the same it's got a very similar coyote to the Mustang and that's when like the potential really became there we got we got kind of roped into this by rauch yeah why don't you in an f-150 and supercharged it and we start out with their kid and then started to use our chin to our head unit they were about influence yeah yeah and then put our chin three head unit on it when it came out earlier this year and the rest is history that's so funny out literally the big dog or brows you're just like peer pressure you know most of the kid at the lunch table going I know you wouldn't do bad things like the supercharge the truck you'll be fine but the truck coyote has minor differences and that's what you said the compression the cams a little bit stuff like that yeah compression in cam so it doesn't make as much horsepower as a Mustang engine right at the same post level and with the same mods but it still makes power what is this truck make this truck made seven fifteen of the wheels what I was getting ready for like you know 550 600 700 like God yeah and I say that like it's not a big deal anymore I know when we race it we do splash it with some boost Dane right just to keep the octane up there honestly I feel like because you guys probably drive this every day yeah it's got 45,000 miles on the clock on the original engine oil pump years which we're gonna change one day one day whenever it has to happen yeah you have any 40th I know I'm ready so you guys came here from us a week to go to Drag Week but unfortunately they didn't let you run and why didn't they let you run you want to tell Rebecca they did not let us run because Chuck does not have dry green heels and in the rules it states that every vehicle has to have a drag radial on it and they were not willing to begin considerations really the truck is four-wheel-drive malleability tear up the track really has no ability to have a drag radial on it there's not one that's made I think it's this got like 30 ones factory oh yeah and what's this thing way do you know 50 oh my god that's shift I felt a little traction control intervention back there so that's what I wanted there we go like okay what what's the red line of this thing rooms at about 77252 say because I saw the needle go past the number build like are you gonna be okay I mean to me that's one of the best things about modifying and tuning a vehicle is all these factory rev limiters on this truck it was 6,000 rpm no way yeah I thought it was at least seven were you know and I mean it's a coyote you know it loves to rev that's so weird I was running with my coyote what it is all motor I was going like the 78 on should Orpheum but I shouldn't have but I did you know I don't think that was a bad thing I know it was great like it was that extra inch in front of other people who didn't come to a stop okay this little knob right here turn that to to 4h and just on the - yeah okay just roll forward a couple feet really gently just an extra it's engaged and got no traffic behind us in front of us go for it you can go from a complete dick okay let's do this ready go what is happening you can see warp speed y-you don't have to run drag radials on this truck absolutely not this truck reminds me of like what the SRT 10 truck should have been buggy how you tune the shifts it hits you so hard it's obnoxious is that like that off just our truck is like that because most people don't like of that hard but I'm over here like beat me up yeah do it now I mean we race it a lot and I've actually got the tuning and everything to the point where we can tow on the same tune that we race on what yeah yeah down low it's nice and mild it won't spark knock up top it just holes I think you should tell your v6 story that's awesome because it shows the evolution of like where you came from to this truck so yeah that was my first cars 2000 v6 Mustang automatic don't leave and I I made a PVC cold air took it to the track with my buddies one night at Orlando Speed World and brand 59 in the quarter mile oh man watch out you know back then that was a tiny bit respectable baby but not fast enough now I ended up going like 14 with full bolt ons and a nice it was a three eight three eight liter okay blood pork had the better cylinder head okay yeah I know I honestly know nothing about that area of v6 so and that was back wedding right now that was back in high school I was 16 and I did some other stuff for the car nitrous a power dying supercharger then I started build my own twin turbo kit because like I knew that's the way that car only way that car was ever to be fast right and turbos yeah and I went through a couple different versions of it and ended up going 11:9 with the first version and then built the second version and a little bit later and went ten nine and what were you still using the auto for our 70w converter I I met one of the guys that started SCT and he tuned the car for me originally and then I started tuning the car myself you know in the meantime of racing my car at Orlando Speed World all these different times yeah I met my wife who was also raising her v6 Mustang and now she runs nines micros 808 now yeah you know what em 166 what is that with the V in people yeah I slept together and it's got arch f3 ah pinch me open it she okay leaves on trans brake and and sometimes it's this high up in the end but I as her crew chief and the one that does the suspension teen and everything I really try to keep a from and I really try to keep that from happening - yeah I give a lot of respect to that because a lot of people say that in order to go that fast you have to have turbos you know they know where you get that top in but with your eyes blower and doing that that's incredible yeah because I'm sure you have such a crazy punch like you said off the bottom we've got that yeah we've got the punch down low and that's what I thought makes her car wheelies so easily the supercharger is so efficient and it's got so much air flow potential that he just pulls like crazy up top our car we don't disclose dyno numbers bright it's no the et and stuff you pretty much figure out it's over a thousand row yeah is that like bored and stroked and everything or is it just a built coyote basically it's just a built Korean sleeved okay and that's about it like run speed some can sit in there's still a back seat in the car I mean what yeah I I think she'd have to drive you know if it's gonna be any racing she may have to drive it but you could ride the bad love - that'd be such a fun video buddy just right into the bag just like take me to school oh I'm so down so dangerous but I'm so down I know this sneak from atiek is amazing and then put your foot on the brake as hard as you can okay bring it up to about 1500 a little higher see what it'll take go higher a little higher so don't let go yet when you let go if you feel any will hop lift okay but for it send in it when we pass that bridge right there with the guardrail you can hear the exact oh yeah that doesn't scare me at all in a good way I'm not saying that's disappointing I'm saying like it's awesome that it's that fast and we're just like having a normal conversation with the VMP blowers on a gin - coyote not the s550 what are those typically baked power-wise our stage 1 kits about 600 wheel ok of course we talk wheel because that's what everybody matters yeah I would too and then stage 2 this was that's about mid 600's ok and then stage 3 with the new gen 3 head unit is 700 on up and that's just a pump gas setup a stock exhaust setup is that stock internals - stock internals you know you do long tubes 85 I mean I had had another shop at fretted Evolution performance to me a message my gosh this car just made 900 wheel and they and they weren't expecting it because the gen 3 the larger displacement the higher efficiency it doesn't need a very small pulley to make a lot of power right and it's not as hard on the internals right right it's more efficient this truck you know for people that know like 2.3 litre Roush and BMP pulley sizes right has an 82 millimeter pulley on it what when it cools off down in Florida we're starting to get into that October November time frame we're gonna go out one night we're gonna run a tent night in this thing all I would have be there for this it's been 11 3 and just need a you know a little fine-tuning and get it into those tents well thank you so much for let me drive your truck it's been a pleasure thank you family and friend for let me drive your truck I upload every Tuesday Thursday and Saturday and I'll see you guys next time goodbye hey you want to feel like a car washing fat-ass here use this load foam came in
