Wow very cool testing. Thanks!
With all the added features of the 2014 I would think that it will respond to mods even better than the old ones too. Time will tell, and its gonna be fun to watch.

Given the fairly significant increase in power for the L83 on E85, we thought it would be worthwhile to go back and retest the acceleration performance on E85 fuel.
As expected from the chassis dynamometer data, the performance did improve.
Impressive performance numbers for a stock 5300+ lbs truck (200+ driver and a full tank of fuel so we were over 5600 lbs).
I did two runs on E85. They were virtually identical in performance so I didn't do any more runs since the data was so repeatable.
0-60 mph was a best of 6.96 seconds (6.97 on the run displayed in the attached graph). This was an improvement of 0.5 seconds over the best gasoline run.
1/4 elapsed time dropped to 15.51 seconds at 93.5 mph, for an improvement of 0.4 seconds and 2.7 mph.

Uuhhhhhhh.... Whatsyourpoint ^^^^ should we clap for your stock Titan? Have fun getting that thing out of the 13's without mortgaging your house 
This was just a test of a new truck, and comparison of the previous model.

Titans are magical. I bet a spark plug change and a few window stickers will get him out out of the 13's.
