Did bigger tires make my truck slower?

As usual, good to see that truck in action.  One of these days Ill get mine to the track and see if I can break into the 13's.

Do you have any passes with the truck? I have heard with the speed limiter removed the Dbl Cab 6.2L would break into the 13's as they apparently hit the limiter around 1000'. Granted you have a lifted CC with larger tires. I would hope a V6 ecoboost wont destroy us by over a 1 second ET but it is seemingly looking that way.

^^ thought that too, but if launching in AWD or 4 HI it shouldn't matter. Not sure if that is his method, or if he has radials? 

Launching in 4hi and these passes where on Cooper Discoverer ATP 275/65/18 tires. No radials here. :)

No passes on truck yet.  I do have a hand held diablo that may or may not help performance but it does eliminate the speed governor.  I'm hoping your referring to the Raptor V6 ecoboost, not the regular V6 ecoboost.  I'd still like to catch a light with a new Raptor.  And if I go to the track, the truck will go on a diet, loosing the spare and tailgate, maybe the rear seats.  I don't want to guess how much faster it would be if I would have taken stuff out.
