I went up to the track on wednesday night with a few buddies. My truck stayed home, but my buddies were excited to race. Both were first timers and conditions were awesome.

The Ecoboost is a Crew cab and has a Corsa exhaust and he just put in the SCT 87 octane tune earlier that day. He is still going to buy an intake and get a 'custom' 93 from one of the SCT vendors. His best time of the night was a 13.96 @ 96.80.
He was running at full weight on his 20's. Not even the tailgate removed. Pretty awesome.

My other buddy has an SRT8 jeep with a Borla exhaust and a Volant intake. he managed a best of 12.95. He had a run in with an Audi RS4 that he beat by just a hair... awesome run.

The ECOBoost is quick, but sounds like *** IMO. V6's should be muzzled.

I wish GM would do a small displacement TT engine, and sound good while making the power. But alas, when the V8's disappear, it looks like GM will be doing turbo sixes as well.

I wonder if there will be GM V8's in production cars come 2020?

Your not kidding.. i heard something weird and when i turned around i saw a ford goin down the track and he also went a 13.9.. They run very good!! but do sound goofy

 

Tell him to quit wasting his money with the SCT and go with a tune from 5 star or Livernois. Much better tunes than SCT with much better trans tuning.

 

Thanks for the tip. I'll pass along that info.

I really don't know much about the ecoboost aftermarket, so I was no help when it came time to choose the mods.

 

Ive wasted many hours reading about them on the ford forums as Ive semi sorta interested in getting one. Pretty much a catless downpipe and tune make a big difference. The factory catback is pretty good and the intakes dont make very much difference. The crew cab 4wds can be made to run low 13s fairly easily but thats about as far as you can take them. Some guys are spraying them with good results, I just cant get past the sound of them and they get shitty mileage if you put any bigger size tire on them. Very nice trucks though.

 

My room mate has a ex cab sb 4x4 eco with 3.73's all stock and launches pretty hard in 4hi. Feels like high 13's to me with a boosted 4x4 launch.

 

Going from 4hi launches in your truck to a high 13 truck must be so boring

 

LOL ^ !

Rob you have some good running stock trucks out that way !

Now get that Denali blown and spank them all !!

 

Can you get the Eco boost in a reg cab 2wd version?
