so many variables you havent listed..

configs of each truck...

but your V10 should easily ditch a 7.3... those trucks are plenty powerful but they accel. like a old locomotive..

do you have lift/big tires he doesnt ???

Either the PSD is not stock or there is something wrong with your V10.

Its 310HP vs 235HP.

Wow that sound wrong for that engine

Our old 01 F250 V10 that burn lot oil than use gas. It acceleration to 5K rpm no problem.


You know that your V10 get more power if you rev to 5K rpm instead 3K rpm.



What last time you done tune up on that? Sound it due for now.
