Livernois F-150 Powerboost -- 11.9 sec 1/4 mile

[nitrobass24]

I'm more interested in what suspension components were used to lower the PB. I want to lower/level mine. Not slammed, just lower. I'm not an off-roader, just dirt roads that any car can do. I prefer an easier reach into the bed and to wipe the bug guts off my windshield! Plus the added bonus of better MPG.

Pretty sure it’s just a 2WD…

Over 300k on one of my 5.4L half tons.. all of which have been on e85..

Haven't had to rebuild it yet

I'm not sure E30 is authorized per the manual, but that is nasty quick with just a tune. I'm not sure the larger intercooler and exhaust do much for a one time run. Repeated runs for sure.

Well..I've been running E50 for a few months...

I believe it does, however you better make sure you have speed-rated tires. What comes on most of our trucks is the limiting factor.

True...ish

The speed rating on tires is tested at speed for 10min with a load on them to simulate a heavier vehicle. ...they also reduce the number by 20% for a safety margin.

So while the stock tires are safety rated for 118mph...and a 20% on top of that equals 142mph(with zero safety margin).

I can personally attest that stock 265 60R18 Hankooks were safe to 140mph MANY times, and even at 150mph for a short distance/time(less than 10min)....

I personally will not risk it, and in my older age, I don't feel the need to drive that fast any longer.

I have too much to lose personally and financially if something goes wrong now.

I really want to aggressively insulate the exhaust system and ideally install a bigger radiator. If a tune got me 20 HP I'd be thrilled.

Have you gained any ground on exhaust insulation / data?

Saw in a Powerboost owners FB group that they have an "E-boost electric motor tune" add-on now which apparently holds electric mode longer for better MPGs: https://www.livernoismotorsports.com/product/LPP631171/2021-2023-ford-f-150-3-5-powerboost-tuner

Just a E30 tune, intercooler and cat-back exhaust.

Not bad.

Well..a few months have passed...and records have been set.

I've done a 3.5sec 0-60mph, and a 11.7 in the 1/4,mile...

Here's my video of the runs..

Spectacular work. Love the 0-60mph time, you've got yourself a boat towing supercar!!!!
