If you love to race that truck, take her down to Ennis and post up your time slip. There is another thread in here where (I do believe) a lightly tuned EB driver posted around 14.1 or 14.2 in the 1/4 mile.
While I have no reason to doubt you, have you actually put your truck on a dyno substantiate your 800hp & 1300tq....or are you guessing. Honest question.
The reason the EB doesn't need as much power to be faster is the F150 comes in under 6000# and the F250 is closer to what, maybe 8000# (I'm guessing, though the info is readily available).

Within the 6.7 tuning community it's generally agreed upon that the base truck is good for 500-600hp before it starts running out of fuel or needing a turbo/built transmission. Take a stock truck, delete it, and run even a conservative tune for a night and day difference. While there are undeniably faster cars on the road, these diesels have the potential to be surprisingly quick. They can rapidly scale up in power without major financial investment.

That's not particularly over the top. You can do a turbo swap, injectors, dual fuel pump system, built transmission, etc for a lot less than $20k. The curb weight of an F250 is around 6000lb and the EB is about 4500lb. The torque difference in factory form is already enough to cancel out most of the weight. The hardcore guys are breaking 1000HP/1800TQ. Would I want to own that truck, much less DD it? Probably not.

Edit- if I wanted to run low ets, I wouldn’t have a 6 inch lift on 37s...

Can we stop with opinion and get back on track with facts or even speculations specific to the 3.0L?

The diesel will be a complete waste of money, unless you drive 30k a year.
But some people will have to have it, because diesel

That's cool and all, but can it roll coal?

By the way, my dad weighed his stock 2015 6.7 last week, and it was over 8k lbs with him in it.

Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Provides that no person shall retrofit any diesel-powered vehicle with any device, smoke stack, or other equipment that enhances the vehicle's capacity to emit soot, smoke, or other particulate emissions, or shall purposely release significant quantities of soot, smoke, or other particulate emissions into the air and onto roadways and other vehicles while operating the vehicle. Provides that any person who violates this provision shall be subject to a penalty of not more than $5,000 per violation.

Diesel owner highjacks diesel thread lol, how original.
Tuning a diesel is like tying a rocket motor to a brick, why bother when you can do so much more with less. Case and point, my truck lol. $1000 Nitrous kit, for the times when a 14 sec truck just isn't enough.
I really am not a diesel fan, but I do about 35K miles a year, and a lot highway, and IF the new diesel goes 0-60 in under 8 seconds, and gets 20% better mileage, I'd consider it. But then again, how badly do I want the typical expensive diesel repairs that seem so common? Add DEF, expensive oil changes, fuel filters, and cold weather issues, what for, to MAYBE save a few bucks? MAYBE? Do I want to be a powertrain Guinea pig too?
No business case there, the only reason to buy one is a diesel fetish. Oh and rolling coal trucks should be banned and their owners fined heavily. That whole thing is just BS.
