honestly, the power levels the '18s are handling on stock internals, i'd go twin turbo with 4wd. just nasty, nasty fast.
Until you come across a tuned focus RS, then it's pretty hard to stay far enough out lol.

Is there a turn key plug and play twin turbo for the 2018? This is where Whipple shines. Cost more yes, but you don't spend bunch of time and money on a custom tune and piecing together a system.

Knowing how my truck launches, I’d put money on the F150.

Can't get a good trade in value.The dealer says a 2015 RCSB 2wd don't exist. Only give me $17,000 for it I would need at least $30,000.

your value is 100% in private party with your mods/setup.

I'm with you. brake boosting in 4hi sport mode even on 3.31s this thing gets to it.

You know how a tuned ecoboost 4x4 launches right? Well, still stayed right next to the truck off the line and got him on top end.

I talk about it from seeing it, not because i'm dreaming lol.

Tuned EB's launch pretty hard. Not near as hard as the NOS launch, but still pretty stout for sure. Supercharged F150's, at least the ones I've seen launch harder. I don't know what gears, but the one I saw really moved off the line.

I saw a vid of a CCSB 2wd on drag radials cutting low 1.70 60’s the other day...I’m thinking a 4wd on 4 radials should be 1.50’s...maybe even 40’s.
