Interestingly, that actually shows that the 6.2L GMC is as good, or slightly faster. The person who drove the F150 twice and GMC once, won all 3 races. He get's a better start each time. GMC had a larger margin of win when he drove it.

Better drive8 made all the difference. Nice to see the 3.5l beat the top Chevy truck gas engine.

Its not to race other trucks. Tunes give better mpg as well, improve towing and have real time diagnostics available. People can enjoy performance without racing. I'm glad your feelings got hurt by my comment. Shows your ignorance.

I’m sure your getting a tune to get better mpg. Sounds like your feelings are the one getting hurt. Always someone who has to make a comment. Yes some people like to drag their trucks. The video just shows the 3.5 can hold its own against GMs top dog. No need to get all butt hurt. Oh and if you wanted to improve towing you should have just got the 3.5 😜

Well, it wasn't an entirely fair fight, as the Ford had a long bed, and the GMC the short one. Not a big deal, but definitely a factor. Another one is the rear end. It'd be nice to list both vehicles' rear end, for transparency.

Anyway, since they don't give any details on how they do it, which is the best way to launch the 3.5EB? First of all, 2H or 4A? Second, brake/torquing, or just hitting the gas pedal after releasing brakes? And finally, sport or normal mode? Thx.
