4.10s, although 225/50-15 is a *puny* tire. Not so much in width as it is in height. A smaller tire effectively increases the overall gearing effect.
When you step up to a 26x8.5 ET drag you will be greatly rewarded.
They'll be fine w/ your current 225/50-15's though. It's a great gearing advantage.

rebuild your stock rear if you are getting the one wheel peel. Extra friction pads and the F-150 'S' spring wouldn't hurt either
