No it is the stock 18's on my truck. One thing I notice different from your video is you launch at 2000 rpm. I can't. It stops at 1500 rpm for me. Regardless it looks like those ecoboosts just launch hard and that is the difference between it and the 6.2 because equal trucks they trap about the same.

Well it looks like those ecoboosts launch hard for a truck with those 60 foot times. I brought my 6.2 4x4 lariat to the track last week and all I was getting was 2.33 to 2.37 60 foots. I ran a 15.09, 15.20, and a 15.23 all at 92 to 93 mph. The da for those runs was 2519, so it is similar to what you encountered. Corrected, my best run came out to 14.62 at 96. I can't wait until fall to get some good air and try to get that number.
Later Mark.

When i ran the 14.97 at 93.25 mph last weekend with my 2011 Supercab 4X4,EcoBoost and 3.55 gears my 1/8 mile time was a 9.67 at 73.22 mph and the 60 ft.time was a 2.26.

No I didnt reprogram for the tires. The speedo is 2 mph slow at 70mph compared to GPS. At slower speeds its still dead on.... Im not going to worry about it.

Well I played with it last night and I think you are correct. The rpm goes up to 1600-1700 then just drops to 1500 and stays there. I tried to power brake with it and I couldn't. And yes I did hold down t/c button and deactivated the advance trac. It just wont do it. He'll my 2010 with the 4.6 3v could powerbrake. It has to be the nannies like you put it.
