It wont be long though before they do. I just got an email today from livernois motorsports stating they just purchased a truck and will be working on cracking the encryption, and trust me they will get it done and be adding huge gains. Just look at what the did with the SHO.

The only thing else I can recommend is that when people start getting their EB's tuned that gauges are also installed so temps can be monitored.....

^ hopefully they'll integrate it into a system like the dashdaq where you don't need to add gauges . The Dashdaq allows you to monitor hundreds of parameters and you can even highlight 3 of your favorites and view them as real gauges. Spartan uses them, hopefully they'll have time to write EB tunes.

Yes I know it looks like a 4x4 I have the 3/5 lowering sitting at the front door ready to go on..

The video was of my wife's truck with me at the wheel.

The truck is bone stock with factory 3.55 limited slip with the addition of 08 Harley 22" wheels. The wheels and tires are 83lbea. The stock wheel and tire package in 18" were 69lbea, so the 22's are NOT helping in the 1/4 mile department.

Anyways the ECU has been cracked but SCT has been working on the Powerstroke 6.7 ECU calibrations, the encryption on that makes the ecoboost look easy. It will be very soon before the software is out.

I am planing to be a beta tester for that and some off road pipes, and inlet modifications. The ECU and shifting is NOT helping the drag racing, the truck cuts boost before the shifts so its super smooth but slow shifting.

Anyways another poster raced one and had similar results. Against the lightning our 1/8 mile times were close, but after that he started pulling away.

Its not a drag truck it is a regular F150, but wanted to see what it could do.

Reaction time has nothing to do with the 1/4 mile time.The et clocks do not start until the driver leaves the starting line on the green light or red light.

Later Mark.

SPARTAN has had the 6.7 cracked for months, if SCT hasn't got it yet they are behind the eight ball. Spartan has said that they are not going to do the ecoboost, at least according to their website. Kinda funny the spartan kid has only been at it for less than 5 years and he is leaving the others in the dust

Yep, that's pretty common knowledge.

The cat in the Lightning was sandbagging. My old '99 Lightning was quicker to 80 than the '98 Corvette I had at the time.
