Haven't had a roll race for 15 years. Besides that you're not catching this truck. With nearly twice the torque to the ground as the 5.0, I see why you're skeered about that 60ft.

Look, if you skeeeeeered, just say it.

I haven’t dig raced in 16 years. Great numbers. It would still get shit on by a basic whipple 5.0.

You're not wrong, my 2014 5.0 had 4.10 gears, a 3000-3200 stall converter, and it was tuned for E85. My 2021 3.5EB with 3.55 gears and 93oct was faster bone stock, and way faster with a tune.
i mean.. 2014 had 6 speed and 2021 has 10 speed lol

My point is that arguing about the fastest stock truck is weird because anyone that cares about going fast isn't driving a slow stock truck. So how much money can you spend before a daily 5.0 or 3.5EB F150 becomes a race truck and what mods would disqualify it from being a daily? Buying a Whipple or turbo kit costs most people 10-15K after install which is why tune only trucks are way more common.

Bone stock with all the limiters in place I can find examples of 3.5EB and 5.0 crewcab trucks running similar 1/4 times in high 13s and low 14s with very similar 60ft times. Neither truck hits 100mph by the end of the 1/4 mile, but they both get very close.

According to Road and Track, the 2024 Honda Accord runs a 13.9s 1/4 mile, with that context both trucks are disappointing if you care about who's fastest when bone stock.
Arguing about the fastest stock truck is dumb yet we are already on page 5 and counting.

You can care about speed and also not want to mod your daily driven truck.

Nobody cares about a damn Accord lmao ?

Guess we are excluding the Raptor R?
I actually would love to run a non R raptor. The R obviously is the fastest version of all f150 power trains. I am sure some 3.5 guys will tell you all they need is a tune though lol ?

Just for fun I'll take the bait lol, a tune only 3.5EB has no chance against a Raptor R, but a 2020 3.5EB with an E85 tune, intercooler, and port injectors can run 11.99s in the 1/4 mile. A stock Raptor R runs about 12.2-12.3 from what I can find.

Not my time slips or my truck.

A tuned whipple 5.0 retaining the factory warranty? That's a pretty bad return on investment when you can just tune a PB and let it breathe a little easier for next to nothing. At the same time you could put $3k worth of parts into the PB and pick up another 100hp. That torque is already at the trans limit though so adding another 100ftlbs is ill advised.

F150s are popular to mod because of the 4WD and its ability to get out of the hole, just not your F150.

Man this thread is like all the import vs domestic pissing matches out there.

You can argue the “my 5.0 configured the way I have it in my head vs your 3.5 configured the way I have it in my head will drag you down the track any day of the week” but you know damn well that’s a fruitless argument. anything can be fast with enough time and money, and sure some things take a bit more to get to the same point but in all honesty nobody buys a pickup truck because they’re fast. People are allowed to drive whatever they want and if their reasons for picking what they did make them happy then there’s no need to mess with them.

and the street racing thing? I’ve been racing on and off the track for 15 years now and the only people who run from a roll are the ones who know they are slow as shit from a dig or know they can’t get traction.

what the hell that supposed to mean lmfao
My passenger side mirror camera went blue after Milton. Has nothing to do with the PowerBoost being superior to the 5.0 hence the humor because we have a great deal in common with our trucks once you get past the powertrain.
