Question Ecoboost code name

I thought I had read that there was a code name for the ecoboost when it was in development. I cant find the article. Any help with what that name was?

I believe it was Twin Force.... which I think it was way better of a name. People would no longer expect great gas mileage out of it. Just raw power.

I also found on wikipedia that another code name was Ford Cyclone. Also the Twin Force was what it was released as in 07. The 'Hero' code name was what Ford called the specific engine they used for their testing.

I figured it would have been something more mean, I mean Coyote, Scorpion, Triton, ETC..... Twin Force, seems like weak sauce, not that Triton was that good, until someone got stabbed with one.
