Recently purchased an 18 F150 rcsb 2.7 4x4 to play around with. I'm too scared to boost the Hellcat or the CTSV and cheap(IE: pulley, tune, injectors, HE(ctsv)).....so I bought this little truck to play with. Went to the track on March 17th. Unfortunately it was a race day and they only allowed 1 time trial. I tried to remember everything but that pass went pretty wrong. I put the truck in 4h and turned advancetrak off. I failed to get the rpms above 2000 and put the trans in sport. It labored off the line with a 2.203 60ft finally built boost and went 14.36 @ 97.xx. I knew it had a lot more in it so I dialed in a 14.10. I put it in 4h, trans in sport, advancetrak off and came off the line at 2200 in boost. 60ft 1.986, so far out in front of the guy I coasted from the 1000ft marker and broke out with a 14.05 @ 85mph. Still crossing 5-6 cars ahead of him as he had a .5xx light on a .000 tree. DAMN. 1/8th mile was a 8.82 which equates to about a 13.73-76. I was pretty impressed with the little 2.7eb. That would be quicker than my stock 99 Lightning that went 13.98 @ 99. Now for a tune to get it into the 12's.
