Made it to the track finally last night and after reading around of other people's times/mods I am sad this morning. Mods are MPT 93 tune, afe intake/intercooler/cold ic pipe, bbk t-body, solo catted d-pipe, stainless works cat back. Stock tires, 3.73 gears.

1st run: 2wd, locked diff, 2.2 60ft, 14.27@96.1

2nd run: 4wd, 2.5 60ft, 14.5@95.5


I was seeing other guys with similar mods doing 13.2s so wondering what's the matta, figured a whole second hiding is a lot. It was nice out cool right after sun down and about 68 out.

You 60ft times are not so good IMO. Launch is key to get these EcoBeasts to propel nealy 6000# down the track.


My Jeep Liberty CRD Diesel (4550#) turns a 2.220 60 ft time...10.390 1/8 mile

Tires can make a big difference in 1/4 mile E.T.

Even if he cut a 1.8 60' he would probably only be 13.8. Seems slow.

Whats your altitude and air temp?

Maybe just run the busa and use the truck to tow it?

How about running 4 hi

Killerrudy, how did you end up locking diff in 2 wheel drive? I had thought that was a later year option. Modded?

RLXXI

2wd trucks get better times because they don't have all the extra drive line drag or weight.

Except for this truck.

That does seem like rather slow times if you are tuned and locked... I am also running a 2011 4x4 EcoBoost, but I believe I have the 3.55 rear, no locking diff and no performance mods.


I was launching in 4x4 and consistently getting between 14.4 and 14.6, however I never did get my 2wd launch right. Either I would hop, or I would spin and lose time. I gave up after about 4 runs as I didn't want to keep losing to my buddies 06 mustang.


Would it be safe to assume you were spinning up the turbo's prior to launch and that you took out all of the extra weight you could? Below is my first ticket spinning in 2wd and one of my last tickets when I had the hang of launching in 4x4.
