Truck seems to be getting more powerful

I have noticed that the truck is getting more powerful as I drive it. I am like a lot of you guys that I did not feel this truck was as responsive as my older F-150s. Maybe I have just figured out where the high torque points are, but it feels like it pulls stonger under hard accelaration. Any body else notice this???

Could be the engine breaking in. As the pistons and other components wear in, they move more freely.

Yeah big part is probably getting used to it.

I've felt the same thing. Cool huh! Just like my 01 Screw, it took a few to get it going then bam. Just like Emeril.

I thought I was just imagining it , Usually it's the other way around. My truck seems to be perfoming better the more I drive it.
