Ah, yes.....
those numbers are hard to measure for me
probably good real numbers for that scenario,
but not a statistically accurate measurement for comparisons
(and certainly unique measurements - gotta give u that ! )
what grade were you on ? downhill I can do better
60 foot, 1/8th mile, 1/4 mile ? those are more universal numbers that are usually used... even 0-60 is suspect usually....
Remember this one particular user here who was selling his wares and kept redefining the norms of measurement !!! I called him on it and I almost got banned because he was a sponsor
Somewhat like me saying I have 300 more kulas than you at peak rpm !
( I don't know what that means either
)

)This was flat terrain,and the datalogs shown in that post's link was a 0-60 run in dry weather empty (7000lbs). 50-70 mph is much more repeatable with a heavy load since you take traction issues out of the equation,and that's what you typically see for acceleration/passing tests.

Just took the time to read your linked posts JL...you KNOW some ****
I am far from knowledgeable....
haven't done a datalog on my sct since I first got it and worked with Innovative so he could learn how to tune it (guess I was one of the early adopters )
Will have to give that a try but
"Doing the math,that's 8.78-1.57 for a 0-60 time of 7.21 seconds."
that's not bad at all for our big buses !!! will have to see if I can replicate....
need to look for those time slips during my 8.9 eight.... IIRC it had something close to 60 mph - maybe the 330 ???? dunno.... but recall the 1.9 60 foot...

My Tbird pulls low 1.6 60's,and it feels like getting rear-ended by a garbage truck @60mph. SCT's LiveLink is the software you can use with your laptop to do datalogging and to view real-time data as you drive.

You do know YOU will be responsible for killing this thread, right ?
We CAN'T have logic and real numbers getting in the way of smoke and mirrors !!!

Don't they call for 5w20? V10's have very tight clearance in the mains & rods. Amsoil is good too.. It is too late Bill
It is hard for a 40w to get to your valve train. Now your truck is only going to last 250,000https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...ar-v-10-a.html
