I don't know what the longest on FTE is, but the 7.3 OT thread has got to be close. This one has a long way to go to get even close!

Anyways, a couple years ago, my buddy had a 2000 F250 7.3 and I did not start to pull away from him until we hit 120, then we caught up to some traffic. So take that!!! (that actually is a truthful story, I was in a Galant) But that is meaningless in this discussion because 98% of people buy a V10 to PSD to tow.

Doubtful, that is why I am calling BS! You know, if people want to add to the argument, at least it can be truthful. He is saying the V-10 is better than the PSD because he can tow a heavy load at 100 and had driven it 105. Well that is tarded on many levels, the main one being who cares what it does on flat ground. I want to pull hills.

none, I think the stock PCM setting is 105.
It was not a top speed run, I just over about 3miles gave it a little more and a little more tell the speedo was about 5mph past the end,
then I went back to about 95.
At 105 it was a little to drifty.

He said that 98% of people that buy a PSD or V10 buy them to tow with.

I think it is crazy that Ford set a van's pcm at 105 yet limits the superduties to 95. My pickup is rock solid at 105 or better, guarantee it is much better handling than a van at that speed.
