2007 Roush F-150 Stage 3 - Delivering Performance
We figured out a few things during dragstrip testing. One was that the truck runs quicker with the tailgate up. We had started the day with it down and were stuck in the 14-oh range. Editorial Director Jim Campisano laughed at us and said if we were to run with the tailgate up, he would guarantee the Roush would dip into the 13s. He was correct-the truck eclipsed the barrier with a 13.97 on its first pass with the tailgate up. We bettered that run with a 13.93. The best 60-foot times came by launching the truck at 1,000 rpm and rolling into the throttle aggressively. With any higher rpm, the tires spun badly; any lower and the truck bogged off the starting line.
