One thing this truck has been lacking is traction. Wheels off for final polish/detail decided to add some CalTracs as just too curious as what it would do with better traction 0-60, 1/8 mi and 1/4 mi.

With 150 hp less easy 4 seconds to 60.
This also shows the INCREDIBLE Baer 14” 6p brakes.

Any guesses 0-60?
1/8 mi ET/MPH?
Will need track for 1/4 mi testing.

I am going to guess 0-60 is 5.6 seconds.
Are there two of these trucks on here, or are f100raptor and 1966 f100 raptor the same user?

Forgot sign in. Made new sometimes phone signs in wrong one.

If i could get it to hook high 2 low 3 possible with boosted launch. Now low 4’s with poor traction.
Did find 60-0 in 3.34 seconds.
No traction until well past 60 ran 12.50 @ 116 1/4. Easy 11.50 with traction

Stock Gen 2 runs 0-60 in 5.1. With less weight and smaller tires his truck should be significantly faster.

Yes, ANd this makes over 200 more HP to tire. Stupid fast from a roll but not so much from standing start. Even with the CalTrac bars I just added it helped but simply way too much TQ on bottom end. With proper tire and prepped track I think it would go in the 2's to 60. Easy mid 3's with a few tweaks from where it's at now. I did find it will do 60-0 in under 3 seconds so has really good brakes too.

Because of my short tires and 3.5 gearing a Raptor would need a 4.80 rear gear to be equal.

I would need a 3.00 gear in this to equal the Raptor on 37's with the 4.10 rear gear.
I have not tried leaving in 2nd gear yet. Thinking if I do leave in M2 it should shift not stay in gear? Never tried it yet
