Only rclb or ecsb. You can get the 5.0 in a rcsb though.

You must have shown up later in the night... I had a dead phone and a light coat, after feeling the confusion that is the beginning of hypothermia... I went home. Glad you guys made it up and had some good runs. I'm glad I went, its good to get out to the track after the winter.
Did you see the mid 2000's white Silverado? It ran top 12's with nitrous. I didn't get a chance to talk to him, but the truck ran pretty well.

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.
I'll have to talk to him about it. I wasnt a fan of the SCT myself, but really didnt have anything intelligent to base it on.

Yea they run strong. Tune made a decent difference, but I dont ride in it often so its really hard to say exactly what it did.

Yea it was pretty chilly... I saw him make one pass. I wanted to talk to him too but didnt have a chance to. I want to say I got there around 8pm.
Too bad I missed you.

Before I bought my 09. I was looking at the fx4 ecsb Eco boost. They are nice trucks but the options my Chevy came w compared to the ford, made my decision. A sunroof and power sliding rear window was redic through ford. I still am thinking about one but it'd have to be used and w all the options.

**** it, I turboed my Chevy and now spank the Eco boosts

No Doubt. With mods like most of us do, the EcoBoost has its limitations.

I'm just sharing what it is capable of, and frankly find it to be a very impressive ride. Most people have nightmares about the things we dream of... a weekend taking apart their car.

.
That goes for most engines in general, in my experience. Not many engines/vehicles get multiple manufacturers making a variety of parts for themselves. We got more options for exhaust manifolds/headers than most have for performance parts, in general

Doesn't mean those other vehicles/engines can't haul some serious a$$ though.

what was the 8th time on the ecoboost. My buddy ran his the other day 8th mile with a livernoise 93 tune and ran 9.1@76mph in a 4door 4x4. He raced it on the street and said from stock to livernoise 93 tune picked up 10mph through the 1/4
