Between 14.7-15.0. All depends on the launch.
A “cracked” ECU is still required. ZFG sells new and used options. Mine is a used ECU. I still have my stock one if I ever want to go back.
Absolutely. If you care about your powertrain warranty then stick with a ProCal tune. Once your warranty ends then you can come over to the dark side
I’d expect mid twelves in 2H on drag radials. Without the parasitic loss of the FDU.Hey all,
It's been a long time coming, but I finally did it. I became the the first 6G Ford Bronco to do a 12 second 1/4 mile down the Drag Strip. I ran down the track a total of seven times. Five of which were either 13.0 or 13.1. I also ran a 12.99, but my best time was 12.89 @ 101.76. Many months ago I was able to achieve a 12 second 1/4 mile via a Dragy device, but it's nice to do it "officially". Before some of you comment "You bought the wrong vehicle" Yes, I know the Bronco is not a drag racing machine, but I wanted to do something different instead of building a rock crawler or high speed off-roader. I still take my Bronco off-road and enjoy the outdoors, but 90%+ of the time I'm driving it on the streets and now that it's faster it's a lot more enjoyable to drive.
Here's a full list of the performance modifications it took to get her in the 12's. I know for a fact you can get there with less modifications, but achieving 12's on the street vs. the drag strip are two different things when you're on the stock 35" Goodyears. I suspect lighter and sticker tires would get you there with just a Tune, intake, exhaust, and intercooler. The stock Goodyears hook much better on the streets.
The biggest increase in HP/TQ is going to come from the @ZFGracing E85 tune. Adam from ZFG Racing is one of the best Ecoboost tuners out there and holds the most Ecoboost records when it comes the fastest 1/4 mile times. I know most people don't have an E85 pump next to their house, but their 93 tune only makes 40 HP less or so, which still turns the Bronco into a beast. I'll be doing a full review/video on how to tune your Bronco with ZFG/HP tuners as I know the process may seem a little daunting for most.
It was a slow day at the Fayetteville, NC Drag strip, but beat everything I raced. Keep in mind, nothing I raced was really that fast.
Here's a list
Lots of the regulars and old timers came up to me and expressed their love for the Bronco. They thought It was a sleeper got a kick out of it beating the other down the track. One guy even thought I was running nitrous - lol!
- Mustang 3.7L w/Exhaust
- 90's 5.0 Fox body with bolt-ons
- 2020 F150 2.7L with CAI
- Mustang 2.3L with a huge turbo (He would've smoked me, but let off mid way down the track, as he's still working out some tuning bugs) Best time he ran was a 12.5
My best run was in "Sand mode" which Adam from ZFG Racing turned into "Drag mode". The shifts are quicker and it revs higher between each shift.
Here's what I did.
On the street I can leave the line harder (Around 2.75-3K) RPMs
- 2nd Gear Launch
- 4 High
- Advance Trac off
- Rear locker on (Turned it off after I launched)
- Left the line at 2.5K RPMs
- Goodyears @ 30 psi
I do get better times on the streets via the Dragy device, as you can see below.
I put together a video showcasing the trip and an overview of the performance modifications I've made to my Bronco. I'll post some pics below as well.
Unfortunately, the track scoreboards were not working and the date and times on their slips were from over a decade ago...haha
Also, reaction times were terrible as i was looking at my tachometer trying to launch a bit better.

This was my best run - Number 7 vs. 17
@MMWILD (or any others that have made Bronco6G mods for speed), after you get your Bronco up to speed, what do you do about brakes to slow down or bring it to a stop?
