Best technique for 0-60 or quarter mile times

I ditched the weight.

My method was hold down the t/c to turn it all the way off, 4x4, sport mode and load it up to about 2000rpm. Ecoboost likes that, but the 5.0 may be different. My best 0-60 is 5.3 on 88 octane. 13.6@100.

With GM trucks, they didn't like to be brake torqued and were noticeably slower if you loaded them up first.

On E-85 my 5.0 definitely chirped all 4 tires, but it was fast and hooked up. This guys got 4.77 sec 0-60 with his E-85 tune STX SCrew 5.0 that is stock besides an exhaust. He has 3.73. He spun all 4 similarly, but it still hooks up good. I haven’t purchased an E-85 tune because I don’t want to void my warranty, maybe after 60,000 miles.

Especially considering those wheels can only slow him down. Sounds like he needed a dedicated e85 tune for any gains though and I wouldn't want to have to run e85, the flex portion is what makes it great.

I also thought you couldn't build boost anymore unless you had a tune.

Quickest way launching from idle
.4-High, No TC, No Advanced Trac and Auto hold on. Stalling the converter always had slower times.

Did 2 pulls W/ the PB (6400lbs). Good launch sites are hard to find. Looks level

Spin'n them 34" LTs LOL. Sport mode, traction nannies off, brake boost until I see positive pressure on the turbos and bam
