these are trucks are fast to you? lol

my crew cab short bed f350 that i just weighed today and weighs in at 8160 will do 0-60 in 5 seconds or less. and will hit move from 60-130 in 4 seconds , that is scary, and that's not even in a race tune...and it hits 40psi of boost.

I mean for a 7k pound truck with a stock tuned 3.5L engine, my truck feels pretty fast to me! No one else I know with a stock truck can keep up...

The Cummins definitely threw me back in the seat more, but with a HD 6 Speed Trans it took too much time to run through the gears.

Not to mention, I didn't buy the EcoBoost to be a race truck... I guess I am finally growing up a little. (Still like a fast truck though :-)

Yah i would say they are quick, but not scary fast. I test drove one i was impressed by the power, but i need one at 450-500whp otherwise its too slow.

Did my LED interior lights and reverse lights since I'm home with the Flu. (Yeah, my girl is pissed)

Going to start the puddle lights soon

Not to hi-jack my own thread.

But I am having a hard time believing RSK is getting up to 130 in 9 seconds (he said 0-60 in 5 or less and 60-130 in 4)...
A 6.4 with nothing but a a hot street tune and dpf/cat delete? Come on, that sounds like 2000hp speed...
I have a buddy that has a legit 600hp 6.4 and he's running 12's in the quarter. RSK must be around 7's with that kind of speed, with 525hp?, oh and 33's... Not buying it...
