Again as always I had my camera gear, so about 400 lbs in the back seat and another 200 + in the bed that day too. 1/4 of a ton of cargo and left him going up hill at about 85 mph take off.

yep yep
Zach knows my truck better than I do, I would of had to go look at the tire size.
I do miss the 235's for the take off speed, although I wouldn't have been as strong that time at 85 mph. But I couldn't find 6 ply's in 235.
I cant say for certain, but I think the PO may have chipped it or maybe some tune of some kind. Only because I test drove ALOT of trucks before buying this one, the majority being F150's and this one was very noticeably stronger than any of the others.
The only real mod I have done for performace is calibrate the TPS (which I didn;t notice much if any difference even though it was like 6mv out) and I took the slack out of the throttle cable to achive a true WOT. When I am on the floor my butterfly is completely horizontal, basically it went from / to -. The cable was so stretched that it was almost that extreme too. For $.25 of hardware, that was by far the most power for the money that I have done.
