has to do with any vehicle can be a race vehicle. Just pay your money at the gate. My PowerBoost is in fact my race truck.

DA was over 3000’. In the Fall we can see negative DAs

Only been able to make it to the track once so far… test and tune.

My truck absolutely identifies as a race truck. It goes down the race track so therefore it’s a race truck. It won’t be the fastest but in bracket racing it’s not about being the absolute fastest it’s about vehicle being consistent and being able to cut a good light. best race vehicle I’ve...

On a hot humid summer day. Looking forward to some cool Fall air!

Once upon a time I graphed the stock boost psi vs tuned. The stock boost came on very linearly like a centrifugal supercharger. With a tune the boost came on much more quickly like you expect with a turbo. My thought is Ford wanted a very slow smooth power delivery… like a small V8

That’s the great thing about EB tuning. You get big gains low in the RPM range!

So…. Tuning the 2021 F-150 PowerBoost… from what I’m reading and hearing, personally I think it’s going to be quite a while before we see tunes for the PB… but there maybe another option if you are looking for improved performance. On my old F150 EB I was running a JMS BoostMax and it was...

hoping to get my PB on the dyno in September. We’ll see… in the meantime based on the 1/4 mile times I come up with hp numbers that are close. Need to get the truck on the scales.

im not saying an aftermarket market tune won’t make a lot more power. That’s not my point at all. I’m simply saying that with the stock calibration a 3.5 EB will make more power with 93 vs 87. Your original comment was that with the stock calibration the 3.5 EB will make the SAME power whether...

Here’s the gains I seen on my 2011 Flex with a Livernois tune. Flex ran 12.7s @ 109 (IIRC). Ran events from New Jersey and Maryland to Oklahoma.

you said that running premium makes NO DIFFERENCE unless you are tuned for it. That is what you said! Period! That is completely incorrect! The EB will make more power running 93 vs 87. It is up the the individual to decide if it is worth the extra cost No where did I ever say simply running...

I wouldn’t call 13.8 in a full size, crew cab pickup a slug! Sure it’s not ground shaking fast but for what it is it certainly gets up and moves! ? read this review/remarks about the 2001 F150 SVT Lightning… which definitely was considered a performance truck “SVT performance gurus have...

the 3.5 EcoBoost will detect the higher octane and will basically self-tune itself to take advantage of the higher octane and will in fact make more power. The question is the extra power worth is the extra cost of premium?

Waiting at my daughter’s practice. Almost 90 degrees outside. Running the AC in the truck. The ICE kicks on twice in 30 minutes. Runs for about a minute. So nice! ?

I was running my 2011 EB Flex at Milan Dragway (not to far from Detroit). Ran into a guy who had worked on the prototype EB Flex. Was impressed with mine but went on to say they had cranked their prototype up to around 700 HP with just a calibration. Said it was crazy fun until it “started...

think it’s going to be a very long time (if ever) before we see any aftermarket tunes. Some big hurdles. our 2011 EB Flex was an absolute sleeper! I mean it literally surprised the sh*t out of everyone! So many stories from the track...

und factory calibrations are designed usually designed around fuel economy and emissions. In the case of the EcoBoost drivability plays a factor as well. I haven’t data logged my PB but in my previous EB vehicles the boost would come on slowly and linear like a centrifugal super charger not...

Not going to reply to all of this. You made the blanket statement that unless you have an aftermarket tune that is specifically set for premium fuel there is no benefit to running premium. That is simply incorrect.

Regardless of which version of the 3.5 EB we talk about I bet the octane learning logic is still in the calibration. You made some very broad statements about no benefit of using premium fuel which is incorrect
