I don't consider the F150 or the Ecoboost market to be small, but I do think the amount of people that would be interested in heavy modifications such as turbos and the auxiliary systems necessary to support significant power increases is in the hundreds, not thousands.
Then again, there is a reason I am an engineer and not in marketing or sales. If someone can get some realistic numbers for the proposed market, I will put a proposal together and submit it to my senior staff.

i'm in but thats bc i have a sickness with no cure...
2013 Ecoboost, why bc it was twin turbo'd and needs bigger snails before i purchased it.
There is a reason why i dont have a bike. I dont really drink, not into sports all that much, my outlet making things fast that shouldnt be fast, i also do 90% of my own work. The Diesel was harder though bc caboff requirements on a few things. Thus i like the guys in here that are like its a 6klb truck why do you want it to go fast, youve obviously never hung out over on the diesel sites and guys running 11.9s in 8k lb trucks on 35s.
Its not about why you want to, its about why cant you and proving you can... plus i can tell you this waxing *** in an 8k lb truck is way more fun than beating *** in my tiny cars; the wtf factor is like a 10.0 on the richter scale... hell my mower is even molested.
I love corn too, my stock turbo gti did 250whp and 330 torque on a 1.8L Borge warner K03.
- (HUGE 72mm turbo) F250 6.0 modified to 700/1200 on Erics@Innovative Diesel race tune
- (medium turbo) VW GTI MKIV modified to 400 - blew the motor fwd and no traction
- (GT35R turbo) TT quattro 500whp - spins four tires to fast to be a convertible
- (supercharged) Audi S4 0-60 in 4.1 pulleyed and chipped. needs bigger blower

Another reason to purchase the FR 3" exhaust immediately:
Best 1/8 mile run before FR exhaust:
Reaction - +.2313
60 ft - 2.2379
330 ft - 6.2653
1/8 ET - 9.6163
1/8 MPH - 72.95
Best 1/8 mile run after FR exhaust (only change)
Reaction - +.6770
60 ft - 2.0270
330 ft - 5.9506
1/8 ET - 9.2836
1/8 MPH - 73.07
Interesting that the MPH didn't change much, but took off much faster (quicker 60 ft and 1/8 ET times) I attribute to the increase in low end torque from the FR exhaust. I'm couldn't be more happy with such a simple change!

Just here for the MPG's
Thread Starter
Product Update
Well im at almost 3000 miles since i upgraded the truck to mirror the amazing Freak-o-boost from Full Race and just wanted to give a little feedback.
Lift:
Camburg Ford F-150 4WD 09-12 2.5 Performance Kit
Uniball Upper Arms
http://www.full-race.com/store/ecobo...pper-arms.html
Fox 2.5 R/R front coilover
http://www.full-race.com/store/ecobo...reservoir.html
Fox 2.5 P/B rear shocks
http://www.full-race.com/store/ecobo...servoir-1.html
Going with this set-up was a no brainer for me after seeing the Freak-o-boost in person. I loved the way it leveled out the truck and really made it stand out among the other trucks id seen. Ive had a lot of people come up to the truck and the first thing that "grabs" them is the look of the suspension. Now as far as its performance, i couldn't be happier! I beat the heck out of it every chance i get and have done a few all day off road runs with it. I went out and did a mini Mint 400 here in the desert where the race actually runs through and the ride was incredible. The truck seems to almost be proactive in going over rough terrain versus being reactive and throwing me around in the cab. Its a great DD suspension and it will put a huge smile on your face for your off road days
Wheels:
Pro Comp Series 7031 - Flat Black Alloy Wheel
20 x 9, 6 on 135mmBolt Pattern
Backspace=5
Offset = 0mm
Tires:
Toyo A/T II Tires - P275/60R20
Max Load = 2600
Tread Depth = 13/32
Overall Diameter = 32.95
Side Wall = Black Letters
This rim and tire combo is KILLER! It adds a healthy bit of width which means more traction yet its incredibly light. I was sold on this set up when i found out that FR's research led to them finding it was among the lightest yet widest rim/tire combos available on the market.
Intercooler:
Ford F-150 EcoBoost Front Mount Intercooler Kit painted Anodized Milspec Black with 2 Meth Injection Ports
http://www.full-race.com/store/ecobo...ler-kit-1.html
This would be the Pièce de résistance IMO. Nothing that ive put on this truck has made me more excited then this. I have NEVER seen another vehicle around town with one and when i show people it under the hood they are blown away. It just has that "cool" factor and yes thats an intercooler pun
It gives me the ability to never have to worry if my intercooler will get a bunch of crap in it when im taking the truck through mud or water. Ive driven it all day in the sand and around town all the time in the 100+ degree heat. The coolest thing about it is when i get home after driving all day and the cold side is literally so cold its shocking if you put your hand on it!! As Geoff has said time and time again its very hard to assign a specific number as far as gains but i can say with complete confidence this upgrade will yield amazing results you have to feel yourself.
Exhaust:
Full Race F-150 EcoBoost High Flow Bolt On 3" Exhaust System Resonator Deleted
(145" Wheelbase)
http://www.full-race.com/store/ecobo...-system-1.html
The most common thing i hear about our trucks is that NOTHING can make them sound good. Well once i got this one i would like to respectfully disagree This exhaust is so simple to put on and sounds great right off the bat. Just like a good wine it gets better with age! Now with almost 3k on it the tone is even deeper then the day i put it on but still NEVER an i mean NEVER a raspy sound out of it. The gains Geoff and Geno found during their dyno session are a great compliment to this system as well 
But i would of been happy even if it was just for sound.
Brakes:
SDHQ Ford Raptor ABS & Vacuum Guards
Long story short this is a great mod the guys at FR added to theirs and a must have for my truck. Why, you may ask? Because i know its working by the fact that i never have to think about it Ive gone under the truck a few times since i put them on and they have little scuffs all over them which means they are doing a great job!!
Summary:
Overall the additions above which were all recommended, researched, and can be purchased through FR have made me happier with this truck then i could of ever imagined. I have had ZERO problems with every single product that i got from Full Race and now i can see the fruition of Geoff and his teams work first hand. I have taken it to the drag strip a few times in the past couple months and even with bigger 20" rims and 33" tires and the truck lifted almost 2" in the front, i can still run a 15.2 @ 90.47mph. Is that a great time? Heck no, but just imagine what someone who actually knew what they were doing driving it down the strip could do lol I can run it down a drag strip and then directly into an off road session and not blink an eye about going right back to the strip and running just as good times! Great job guys and i hope this information and review can helps someone else make a more informed decision as well.

Fueling.
There is a guy that runs a shop in Seattle who has done some good things with the Mazdaspeed pumps and also +20% fuel on the Bosch BMW pumps. He is going to order a Ford pump (Bosch right?) and dig into it. If he can get the same 20% out of the EB pump, 400+ whp should be no problem since it's close to that now.
