I see the confusion. You think my second paragraph was referencing the 1st which was referring doing 11s. The first paragraph was referring to my truck but having the weight loss of the 2015, the second paragraph was referring to the OP and his less than steller trap speed to 1/4 time in which I inferred that he must have had a slow 60' due to being 2wd (compared to what most 4wd will cut.
Two additional points I'd like to make; one, my 4wd screw has a 5390lbs race weight with me in it, two, I've cut a 1.72 60' in my truck with 1.78-1.82 being a normal 60' for me, and that was without traction bars. With Cal-Tracs my 60' didn't improve, I just spin more instead of wheel hop.
Ok , wow your truck is light. Mine is 5500 exactly without me in it ready to race. Mine is 2w . I haven't been back to the track in about 2 years. Although last time I was at Bradenton The MPT truck and mine where identical. I here they are testing new turbos which where offered to me as well but somehow nothing came out of it .
Besides I'm always in my truck for work and 3 times a month I drive down to the FL Keys. I don't really have the time to continue to push the performance on these trucks .
The 15 would be nice. I wouldn't mind trying the 14 turbos on my truck. Wow 1.72 is a really good 60ft . I wish I could get a 1.7x then I would run in the low 12. Teens

Options add a lot of weight, and I remove stuff like subs, spare tire, etc.
I'm waiting to see a 15' eco hit 12s with tune only.
IMO,I think a 15 F-150 Supercab 4X4 with 3.5L EcoBoost is a high 13 capable truck bone stock?Car&Driver ran a 14.3@95 mph with a 15 F-150 Supercab 4x4 with the 2.7L EcoBoost engine!!!!
Do I need to change sparkplugs? Anyone do custom tunes around St. Louis area? Think I have a lot to gain considering the 4" exhaust and intake ... should be at least in high 13's would imagine with 93 octane tune?

What was the outside temperature,what is the track altitude and was the Ram stock?Your F-150 has to be quite a bit heavier then the Ram?

Based on Edmund's my FX4 is about 400lb heavier
How long between runs were you letting your truck cool down?When i ran my truck on 4-25-15 i left it cool down about 45 minutes to 1 hour.Ran a 14.75@92.16 mph,14.82@91.96mph and 14.76@91.96mph.IMO these EcoBoost trucks don't like to be hot lapped.I'm not sure what my water temp was on every pass i don't have a tuner on it to show actual water temp.2013 F-150 SuperCab 4X4 3.31 gears,only mod Cat Back 3" MBRP.Last year i did run a 14.74@92.09mph bone stock with stock exhaust.You didn't mention was the Ram truck stock?

Ram had Diablo tune (93 octane) and I did do a few hotlaps and got around the same speed/ET's .. the track was pretty quite that night, about as fast as I could get back around I could go.
13.282 @ 98.11, rancheroracer, '15 XLT Scab, 3.31s, Southern Speed Inc. tune only
This clip shows 3 runs, first one is the first time run that I did a boosted up run, 13.48; next one was an idle launch; last one was the jacked up run where it did 13.28.
