I'd like to see a apples to apples race between your truck tuned versus a 5.0 Screw with a Roush SC with the wimpy Roush tune. A pretty comparable race I would assume...

Nice kills, and sounds like the 370z is quick!!

I love mine too. Towing all the time with it is great. I just installed the Superchips tune and it wakes those turbos right up! Hopefully this fall I can retire my '12 ecoboost to a more leisurely role, as I am going to try to buy an '11 Super Duty with 6.7L

I was giving you a hard time, the Eco is a great engine for sure! Great torque and easy to make more HP. Time will tell how good it truly is but as time goes on I'm sure it'll prove it's reliability especially as the kinks get worked out. Enjoy the beast and stay safe.

Default I'll second that!

It is the best engine ever!
The 3.5 has it all.

Overall I have been very pleased with the performance, power and towing ability of the EB. The mileage is somewhat disappointing but then again, it's still a truck. I drove an itty bitty Explorer with a V6 and it got the same as my truck. I'll take the truck over that any day.

My EB has been a good truck with over 23000 miles. As far as mileage, doing just under 18 with the 0 degree temps past couple days here. Remember, it is a heavy vehicle; not getting 30 mpg like a car.

It's not quite love yet, but I'm have some pretty strong feelings.
