[QUOTE="mc01svt, post: 16338655, member: 32337"] A smaller boosted motor will have alot better torque curve than large NA, no ones arguing that. But production vehicle applications have numerous other factors that come into play besides just simple torque vs speed. the base v6 for f-150 only has 265lb-ft of torque whereas the Eco 2.3L has 310lb-ft Why do you think they put a larger less power dense engine for base F150? It has to do with BTE/BSFC and B10 life, things you won't see in brochures. They could get away with it but it would need to be detuned to the order of 235hp or so since f150 has a higher load cycle. Funny thing is they detuned the 2.3L even for ranger use. That ought to tell you something. [/QUOTE]
