Troyer tune & deserted road =
https://www.f150online.com/galleries....cfm?gnum=6008
Was out playing after installing the AF1, and the new tunes from the X-Calibrator tuner, and the new Goodrich 285/70/17's yesterday.
Not bad for a 6,000# 4x4 Supercrew from a dead start with "NO" powerbraking.
Truck smoked them all the way through 1st gear (150ft.) until I let up on it, then when it shifted it lit them up again.....Gotta love those Troyer tunes....
Here Hemi, Hemi, Hemi....

I Call BS
Strange....... my truck is lighter than yours (4x2) and i am also running Troyers XCAL tuned to 91 octane perf. You actually mean to tell me you think people will believe you saying you didn't powerbrake to do that???
I know my truck i quicker now, a race vs. my brothers Tundra showed me what the tune did, but im not going to get peoples hopes up saying you can do a "burnout" in these big *** trucks, i call B.S.
Also, the road look awfully moist and covered with sand....a VW Bug can light 'em up in those conditions.

this is why you don't power-brake

You're absolutely right, "stalling up" or "brake torquing" like that against the brakes will only slow you down in these (any most other non-race cars) vehicles. What happens is the tranny heats up (yes, just in that very short time) so it doesn't pull quite as hard in 2nd & 3rd from the PCM adding fuel & pulling timing in response to that load before you ever even leave the line, so it slows down a bit - for me, it's anywhere from 1-3 tenths, depending on how hard I stall it. Then of course the converter doesn't flash as high, so you don't leave *quite* as hard, and the combined effect is typically about a tenth, just like you found.
For your vehicle and most other street-driven automatics, even with slicks you get the hardest launch by letting the converter "flash" - sit there and idle & then just nail the throttle. It'll leave harder & give you a quicker ET. For the most part, only race cars with transmission brakes should stall it up.
