20 less HP and 70 lbs more of torque won't change much. Besides, original plan is to put a charger on the 5.0. I was under the impression the stock 5.0 moved out a little better than it did. I was wondering if I was doing something wrong or just had too high of expectations.

E85 isn't an option where I live and I'm not to sure I would be able to keep the warranty with an E85 tune. I was expecting more than what I got considering the ET's people get on non-charged F150's with the same options (supercrew, etc.). Like I said I understand it wasn't broken in and there were 3 people in the truck but it seemed to struggle to get out of it's own way. So I came here to see if I was doing something wrong or not considering something. I'm not expecting "sports car" performance but would be pissed if I spent the money on a charger and accessories and did a 14.3 second quarter mile.

I could deal with mid to high 12's, sounds fair considering size, weight and the price of admission. I have a boosted 370Z and if I could get it to hook I could get low 12's. Winter is coming and in Florida that means great air for boosted power.

Did you happen to try out the 2.7l, Todd?
