[QUOTE="mustangc, post: 14314463, member: 87570"] Anyone who brags about the Ecoboost being better than the 6.2 because the torque comes on at lower RPM has never driven an Ecoboost Ford. Sure, the dyno charts show peak torque at a lower RPM, and if given the luxury of a standing start and some power braking, you feel it, but in practical driving, when stepping on it coming out of a low speed corner, the turbo lag combined with the sluggish downshifts means the 6.2 is actually applying more torque sooner than the EcoBoost. And anyone bragging about the Ecoboost's potential when modified has somehow become blind to the V8's potential. The extremely conservative (and warranteed) Roush supercharger packages for the 5.0 and 6.2 V8's produce 570 hp and 590 hp respectively (with 530/590 tq). How many 3.5 Ecoboost V6's are running those kinds of numbers on 93 octane pump gas? Anyone? It's too bad Ford never tried to get better numbers out of the 6.2. Besides big changes like direct injection, they never even put electronic power assist steering on it which would have improved mileage and power. I fear with the 6.2 gone, Ford will do the same with the 5.0: stop all continuous improvement until they can claim Ecoboost is clearly superior and then kill it off. [/QUOTE]
