Default Killed an ecoboost and got some timing in it

Minding my own business at a light a king ranch EB, older guy took off like a bat, heard those turbo spool up (those things are loud for a presumably stock truck!) Next light I let him have hit. Heard the turbos spool up again and next thing I know I'm a couple lengths ahead spinning and bouncing off the rev limiter

Had the truck filled up with E83 so I put some more timing in it at higher boost and ramped in the timing faster. I'm now spinning 20s from a 70 roll Steady 11.5-12 psi with 14-15* at peak timing and 15.5-16* higher up. It's still pulling timing from somewhere though because it should be seeing 17-18* which is what I am commanding (at least at 185 kPa).

Sounds like fun. Congrats on the kill. I'd love to race one. There not quit as fast as people think they are. They are having tons of problems with the engine. Lots of lawsuits.

So you guys think it was modded? It wasn't slow...or maybe my **** is just slow lol. Feels like a different animal after the tune changes I made from the 542 rwhp tune. Probably at or near 600. Temp was a ill lower too mid to low 80s compared to upper 90s.
