5800 is way light...What kind of diet did you put it on? 16.9 is cooking for a stock rig, normally a stocker is lucky to break 18.

I was just going by what it says in the specs I found online for weight?
1996 Ford F-250
Standard cab
two wheel drive
longbed
specifications ...
Weights:
gross vehicle weight rating 6886lb
curb weight 4443lb

I know my utility box weighs 1300lb (again according to manufacturer)

so 4443+1300 = 5743,,just rounded it to 5800lbs
Am I way off on this?

Ran 17.3@82.1 launching from idle and the other run was powerbraking it to
2000rpm which is as high as I could get it without it breaking tires loose.

Trucks isnt completly stock,
have the 3"dp ,
3.5" from there back,
removed cat
big air filter and the
4k oil temp resistor mod,
Temp mid 50s,
Wind: From WSW at 6 mph
Humidity: 80%
Pressure: 29.95 in.
Dew Point: 54°F

Ah...in that case I suspect you are probably around 7000 on the scale. Mine is 7820 with just the normal junk in the toolbox....That's a crew cab 4x4.

Your EOT mod is making good power.

Wouldnt a normal cab 2x4 be a lot lighter?
Guess Ill have to hit the scales at the metal yard now,,you have me curious!
If its 7000lb its a lot more powerful than I thought it was!!

I tried the 10k icp mod but it just fell on its face at 2000rpm though it felt strong as all hell up to that point.
I have noticed since the exhaust and 4kmod the exhaust smokes up black a bit when I get on it.

id say your in the ballpark, usually stock trucks are anywhere from low 17's up to mid 18's (depending of course on weight). My truck with 3 tool boxes, chains, rachet straps and all my junk weighs in around 7800.
