In today's video we address why my 2024 F150 5.0 RCSB was so slow in the first video where we tested the performance on it! HATS + DECALS - lmfscrew.bigcartel.com Dragy - amzn.to/3XRkqjh
Good point, but the "turd" you referred to used to be called, "Factory Mule", though for another reason. My first job in 1979 was at a machining plant. They had Company cars & asked me to take the medium blue 1978 Malibu with no A/C or amenities, a very light car. Just automatic transmission & radio. Very boring rental-grade 3,000 lb car. When I turned onto the 55 mph highway up the road, I gave it the gas hard, thinking this cheap slug wasn't going anywhere. Lord was I wrong. That engine let out a roar & the car raced hard past 60 mph faster than a I could believe! After I stopped, I looked under the hood & saw a V8. The only optional engine in that model would've been a 305 V8 2bbl carb putting out 130 hp. This was not THAT engine. It was one of the fastest cars I'd been in up to now; mind blowing! I thought the factory unknowingly slipped a high performance Corvette L82 350 in there?
Good job sir. Those runs are actually impressive. With stock wheels/tires, regular ride height, cooler temperatures and a prepped surface, this truck runs 4's. People just don't understand how these things factor into runs.
Also could be because the truck is still really new. Could take time to break in. My dad had a 450 Honda racing ATV years ago. Buddy of his bought the same thing (brand new mind you) and they drag raced. My dad’s was faster and it was the same exact thing. It just wasn’t brand new. Could also be the same case.
Wrong, once your piston rings are seated, you should have full compression. Usually after 300 miles, also, I would do an oil change between 800-1000 miles. Don’t follow the factory recommendations. They are designed to keep your truck save for the power train warranty period.
@@ze_german2921 you are correct about the mechanical break in, but some manufacturers have a “break in” tune that nerfs the ignition and fuel for the first x miles or engine hours. Definitely dump that factory break in oil at 500 miles especially if you are going to be hard on the motor. Oil is cheap compared to internal engine work.
One more comment, the larger oversized tire/wheel combo you paid big $$$ for weigh more than stock combo. Unsprung weight increase means slower acceleration. Additionally, the loud, obnoxious exhaust system you paid big $$$ for may actually hurting horsepower/torque.
Factory freaks don't exist anymore. Manufacturering tolerances and ECU tuning are too close these days. Your issue is you're brake stalling too long. Sport mode, nannies off, hard as possible on brakes, mash the gas to the floor, and release the brakes Sitting on the TC creates a ton of heat amd lag. Also, ambient heat and humidity sucks a ton out of a naturally aspirated motors. Think an easy 0.5 seconds slower and 3-4mph in the 1/4 mile in 80+ degree temps. Density altitude is a real thing. Those heavy wheels and tires are killing the times too. Cool weather and lighter wheels/tires you're in the low 5s or better.
@@sonnybunny2305Meaningless without 1/4 mile data. For all we know, you're reacting faster than him. Reacting just 1/2 second quicker gives a huge jump. Plus, you might be on much lighter rims, etc.
Coyote is a beast! You just need to break it in more and reduce your tire size if you want more acceleration. Higher quality gasoline will also bump up the horses a little bit.👌🇺🇲
What’s your respective rear end gear ratios? Ford comes with 3.73, 3.55, and 3.30. Also off road tires are much heavier that the stock passenger tires for puts on. I have the ecoboost and when I put the leveling kit on and besmdrscjntent along with goodyear 32” duratrecks my fuel mileage dropped from 23 to 16.5. Lost some power too.
Good enough plus u got big tuff lookin wheels that will drive more stable than the tiny stockers. I like my 245 70 17 on custom light wheels . go more rubber less weight youll ride better. You can always add a single turbo later but think about your rigs lifespan too. Im happy with my 2020 .one day ipl tune her throw ported manifold on maybe
I'll tell you what...glad you did this vid. I had thought all the 24's F150 xl 5.0 could use E-85!!! I don't remember an option for flex flue on the Build and Price site. Finding out that mine can't was a bummer. So do you launch w/ some or all traction control OFF or full ON? Thanks
People keep saying its tbe engine not broken in...lol. The difference is in the 60ft time. The initial launches were 2.50 60ft. You shaved over .3 off the 60ft, that will easily knock .6 off the quarter mile. That 2.5 launch would be a bad launch even in 2wd, it was in 4wd. Whatever happened to create the better 60ft made all of the difference. Not more power. Now this performance is what I would have expected, and in garbage weather. Good job sir, truck has been redeamed.
It may be some factory programming to help with gas mileage, it wouldn't surprise me at all. I have a 2019 Tundra with 5.7l, when you put it in tow mode it seems to unleash the power. Daily driving (not in tow mode) I get 16-17mpg and I don't drive slow, I think that's pretty good for a 5.7 so maybe the programming does help.
That’s part of the problem, your big tires are def the problem. Second problem, you need to tune the truck, it sounds like it’s shifting a little early. Get a tune with a good intake with headers and a tune and your truck will fly. You can tune it on E-85 or 93. You’ll get more power on E-85 though.
Wheel/ tire combo is much to heavy and tall for any top drag times. Height raises your final drive gear ratio and the spun weight absolutely kills horsepower. If you don’t believe me, swap some light weight factory wheel/ tire combos on and re try. Been there
@@TheBeatenPaths I 10/4 man ran a few sets of them, they are a lot heavier than stock as well. Big, heavy soft cleated tires have purpose but road racing ain’t it
What is everyone using for their oil ? I took mine to the dealer because I was too lazy to change it and they used synthetic blend , I’ve always put full synthetic 5-30 on my previous 5.0 coyotes … with that being said can I use full synthetic even after the first oil change was synthetic blend ?
Have you tried just stabbing the throttle instead of boost launching? My 18 RCSB had better results launching like that. I've seen others have better times as well without boost launching.
@@chkntndy7727 bruh if u don’t think 373s make a difference between sun like 3:08s u never felt the difference it’s a huge difference I’ve had multiple chevys with 373s an 4:10 an 3:08s the 373 an 4:10 would smoke the 3:08s 373s would go perfect with a coyote to bc the way the rev an I never heard him say it had them Ik the blue truck did tho
@@chkntndy7727 ok well I didn’t know never heard him say it had 373s Ik his blue one did I was just throwing my opinion out there bc I think 373s are even better than 4:10s
Some are just faster than others. I have a white 21 5.0 with a 5 star tune and it's slower than a grey 21 5.0 I drove before it and the grey was faster than mine with a tune.
FYI Cletus now has a supercharger on his blue f150 as does Sam’s truck . No turbo. I’m sure the guy in this video is going to boost this f150 just give it some time . Very simple build blower /return style fuel system , triple pumps / bigger injectors on E85 around 20 psi boost easy 1000 Hp don’t take much with these new trucks . Next step for more reliable power built motor/transmision good converter sky is the limit
My dads 2017 ram which is mine now beat our friends identical 2017 ram and we drove both and our friends was a turd.I have my dads 2017 now and I have put a flowmaster super 10,K&N intake and a pedal commander on and led bulbs and tint
Ever thought about you got a different rear end gears thats more of a possiblity also tires can make diffrenece to some of those tires are very heavy like those nitto mud grapplers are so heavy just saying
Your biggest problem is the wheel tire set up that you chose and your rear gear ratio could be a problem if you were going for performance you should have never put those type of wheels and tires and lifted the truck you can still make it fast, but it won’t be as fast as he four-wheel-drive lower truck
