lol @ mostly stock..

"high pressure fuel pump, new fuel injectors, new turbos, and modified the compression ratio. Aside from the performance modifications, the F-250 was also fitted with a roll cage, five-point harness, a drag chute, aerodynamic fairings for the front bumper, and the obligatory salt flat moon-dish wheels"

Haha, and probably dozens of hours of dyno tuning... but yeah, they pretty much drove it right off the lot and onto the flats

In that case, Jarretts truck is mostly stock. Just a turbo on top of a cammed and studded 6.0. But its actually true...

So the stock drivetrain is geared to run 182? LMAO, what a joke. Obviously not mostly stock. Fast yes, but geez, lets call it as it is.....a moderately modded truck with factory level engineering to tune and set this thing up. Oh wait, since the factory team was involved, that must mean that it is "stockish"! Maybe now Ford can retro that super awesome frame into the Raptor.

Well i think it's awesome that they accomplished this! I just wish they wouldn't claim something that it's not. Congrats to them for doing this though!

Lets use our brains kiddos.. Mostly stock was referring to the aero, or the non existence of any. If any of you have been to the flats or seen most of the 'bricks' that come out they rarely look like the did from factory with wedges or large wings. And as we all know, even though Chevy/GM tried to copy it, there is no bigger 'brick' on the road than a SuperDuty. Apparently it was all stock inside too. I have yet to see any pics but it must have took a good while to slow that thing down..

I didn't get the impression they were talking appearance (even though it was lowered with an air dam), but if that is the case, Flaco's stockish Sierra did 199mph: https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...x-mile-480286/
