Default Took the EcoBoost Drag Racng....

New Best!

R/T: .416
60': 2.113
330': 5.905
1/8: 9.080
MPH: 78.45
1000:11.837
1/4: 14.160
MPH: 97.10


One of the fastest Ecoboost F150's in Edmonton I think!
Now to invest in TRACTION!

Very nice so I guess your on stock tires and rims? I bet with some bias ply tires you can cut down to 13.9's or 13.8s. Your trap speed isn't to shabby, should be fast enough to get you into the 13's. Surprised your only picked up 19 MPH's on the top end my thinking is that you would be over 20 mph's just cause turbos shine up top. Did you run in tow haul mode?

I just ran the canned 93 Tune with SCT...played with the WOT shift points, if I had more time and passes I could have probably dialed in a bit better!

Do they make drag radials that fit F150's?

That's a pretty good run. Same as most muscle car's did back in the 1960's!

Let is know here how you are launching and I'll bet those with 1/4 mile experience will have some suggestions for you....

SCT tuner was set on 93 with adjusting WOT Shift at +1MPH

I switched it to -1 on the WOT got better MPH but that was all

With the kind of torque that the EB builds so low in the rpm range, and being tuned AND 2WD, I can for certain see that traction problems are paramount for you.
I think that a good set of drag radials or even slicks would improve your times immensely, and enable you to brake torque to 2,100 rpm the way that the 4WD's are able to launch..........THAT should give you huge improvement in your 60 foot times as well......I do hope that your axles are up to that kind of launch though.....JMHO
