Default 2017 Z71 5.3 ProCharger track videos

Was a little warm today but I wanted to try my new GoPro. Made three passes and considering the heat it went pretty well. Time slips are below in order of my runs.

1st pass was against a 2017 Ford Fusion Sport 2.7 EcoBoost. Has a tune and turbo back exhaust.

2nd pass was a solo run.

3rd pass was against a 2000 WS6 full bolt ons, heads, cam, 4.11 gears, 6 speed.

Thanks! A few people have said that truck would be awesome in brackets. I work a lot of weekends so I never could bracket race

Yeah SW lower corner of the state. Normally race at US 131, Osceola, and made the trip to Milan once and looking to go again.

Love all the whistle noises. I bet that's fun just driving around.

And man that little fusion was getting it.

Lots of fun. That Fusion is no joke. Real cool guy I've known for a while from going to the track. His quickest time in that car is a 12.37 which is pretty fast for just a tune and cat-back exhaust.

If I didn't hate working on fords so much I'd look into one of those for the wife.

When's the next mod happening? (headers I assume). Any plans to ever pulley it up?

Most likely headers and then just enjoy the truck as is.

How's the drivability of the converter especially from a dead stop normal driving?
