Yeah but still that is freaking fast for stock tune holy cow. My peak right now on this base tune is just at stock lb/min at sea level. Im at 32lb/min. My other tune is like 35 lb/min

Don’t want to hijack… this is a sale post.

But it’s all in the brutal 4WD launch. Hence OPs sale I think.

Doesn’t seem that quick to me in the day-to-day, and measuring it bore that out.

My best 2wd runs were no boost, leaving traction control and torque management on. High 6/lo 7s always. Any other combo in 2wd is spin city.

I’ll log airflow on more runs if I go back up there. Also it was 60 degrees that day. If you measured in summer heat…

No worries on hijacking (not looking like I'll be selling on this forum after all), but to be clear - I'm not selling it because it's 2WD - this thing has beaten two Corvettes on the highway, among so many others. I got walked by a Camaro ZL1 a few weeks back, but that's the only roll race I can think of that I've lost. I'm selling because the market right now makes it hard not to - I will have the same monthly payments for a brand new truck, so why not do it? Then I get to mod up the new one too.

That makes total sense. It’s on the highway or from a roll mine feels like such a dang dog… and why I was so surprised at the dig numbers.

I bet those 2 big lungs and good tuning on yours make all the difference to the top end!! Mine has none.

And I can’t fault the trade. I’m keeping my eyes open trying to be opportunistic… but I haven’t found any “opportunities” yet.

Really curious how you find the blown ‘Yote compares!

You guys are jaded if it feels like a dog.
These big huge bricks can go from 70 to triple digits in a moment. It still stuns me after 4 years of driving them

 

[Upshifter]

You might be right.

I do find I’m reminding myself “this is a truck!” quite often.

Everything is relative, and my expectations may be too high.

I think it’s because this is my “do it all” vehicle. In the past I’ve had fast & sports cars, work trucks, family hauler and trail rig, but all were separate. I have one car now and expect this truck to do all these things, and it mostly delivers.

 

[snakebitten]

I daily a Miata and a Porsche. Both a lot of fun. Incredible handling.

When I get in the truck, it seems ridiculously fast.

It's funny when you think about it. The truck is the muscle car.

I agree with @snakebitten , especially when I smoke these new 5.3's with my 12thgen/1stgen.

 

[Mike2019SCrew]

New truck is built, and I'll be trading this one in at delivery, likely next week. Dropping price to $42k - last call!

 

[Mike2019SCrew]

Sold to dealer, sad day.

 

[snakebitten]

But that's just 1/2 the story, right?

Where's the NEW truck?

Sorry to hear, but you’ll be in a new one soon, right? My vote is you need a 4x4 Ecoboost, not a 5.0, but of course, do whatever you’d like to do!

 

[Mike2019SCrew]

Picked up the new one yesterday! Sorry @boostkingMatt it's a 5.0 - I'm just too excited for that 775hp crank Whipple! I keep telling myself that's ALL I'm doing to it though.............

Well, I have to admit, a whipple on that will be a monster. Love it! Gosh dang that’s a beautiful truck! I love the gray color.

 

[snakebitten]

You sound less sad now. And rightfully so!
It's a really nice truck.

 

[Mike2019SCrew]

Thanks y'all - I love that color too. Just got the Corsa db put on there, and the muffler shop removed the resonator too. I didn't ask 'em to, but DANG I'm glad they did. Mean ol' mama.
Ford definitely upped their insulation game with the refresh though; I don't think my wife will even be upset with the volume - when the windows are up at least.

I think someone should do a godzilla swap in the ecoboost. I want someone to guinea pig this before my engine blows haha

Ford performance has a transmission controller for the Godzilla/10R140 now. I was actually considering it this summer when my 3.5 blew, but with no transmission controller i didnt wanna deal with it
