Damn both of your trucks run damn good! I am kind of suprised the 4x4 Silverado ran THAT quick though... wow...
Your truck is a runner as well, my FX4 60'd a full tenth quicker then yours yet you had me by 4 tenths and almost 4 mph at the stripe..... Although when I ran mine was in the middle of Aug. so I had around 3500' DA...I also ran it on the 33x13s which definitely killed a couple tenths or so...
I hope to squeek a 14.99 in good Winter air...

I've got 3.55 gears, the run was at NED which about 80' above sea level. As you can see the truck doesn't 60' well, and I didn't spin very much. I don't think it makes enough torque down low which is what I expected. I was running 89 octane. The other lane was my brother's 2011 Chevy 1500 crew with the 6.2L engine and 3.73 gears, thing is fast. We both had my own tunes. His best was 14.05@98mph. He didn't make much more power on the dyno but has much more under the curve and he's lighter and lower although it's 4wd as well. I still like the Ford better overall.

Here's a video of the run, as you can see I was out horsepowered. As I'm not an advertiser here I can't divulge any info on tuning. My truck put down 308 rwhp on my dyno. I used to own a GMC Denali with that 6.2L motor and it's by far the best truck motor out right now, I've seen as high as 340 rwhp with those things, You can't beat displacement, only problem is he has to run 93 octane to hit those numbers, the truck sucks on 87 octane. I shot this with my Droid and it sucks but not easy driving and filming!
