No records here, that's why i haven't spent barely any monies. All the rest of my monies will be for grip. I do think i can run into the 11's with a bit more work on the tune and grip, though.

Says the guy who refuses to believe that the new 5.0 w/10sp is substantially faster than his older 5.0 in stock form.

And no, not "any" 5.0 will smoke every 2.7l.

Sorry,you think your stock 2015 5.0 Super Crew 4x4 will beat any 2.7L Eco Boost F-150 what are you smoking?IMO I don't think your truck would have beat my bone stock 2015 Super Cab 4x4 with the 2.7L Eco Boost that ran a 14.56@93.07 mph and a 14.53@92.55 mph take it to the track and post some time slips!!!

But it is odd that the 2.7's were coming back as fast or faster when tested by the car mags. It doesn't add up....60 more HP should close that gap, but we all know the area "under the curve" is the culprit. The 10 speed and DI seems to solve that, while not benefitting the EB's, so after many years, the 5.0 is the 1/4 mile king. The shoe is on the other foot for the bone stock crowd.

I wonder how the rig posted by the OP would do against a tuned / intake 2016 5.0.....
I agree with you that the 10 speed automatic helps the 5.0 more than the Eco Boost engines!!!With the low end torque of the Eco Boost the benefits of the 10 speed IMO is more for mileage!!!!
