Is the chart in Post #2 torque measurements at the drive wheels? and who edits?! this stuff... no way the 2.7 EbBstock output betters the 3.5EB...

 

So 2.7 is fastest 0-60 stock f150, has the most torque stock and most torque tuned.

They need to double check the numbers. Did they get silver trucks mixed up for this test? There’s no way the 3.5 HP is that low.

Dont get me wrong, 2.7 is a great motor and can deliver power, but 3.5 EB is going to deliver more.

 

Why is there an asterisk after the 3.5 EB numbers that is not explained in the article? Very confusing...

Also I'm thinking they got the stock numbers flipped for the 2.7 and 3.5, that would make more sense and sounds more like correct RWHP numbers.

 

Those numbers may be from their dyno test, but are way different from factory ratings. I still think the 2.7 would have been closer or possibly beat the 3.5 by a hair if they ran a a few more passes, at least as far as their tests went.

 

Need to read the graph - the 3.5Eb is around 330 hp stock. Stock torque shows around 405-410. The numbers they used were what the stock engine made @ the Tuned engines peak - RPM wise.
Makes for a more impressive comparison. Interesting that the 2.7 was the 0-60 champ stock. And stock or tuned the 2.7 beats the 5.0 0-60 & 1/4 mile.

 

They under reported the 2.7 also, it was 316 hp stock. And around 395 ft/lb torque stock @ peak.
The 5.0 hp figures are correct as shown above, but Torque peak is closer to 360 ft/lb stock.

 

Thanks for the Video that 3.5 Eco Boost was a beast with a tune and pretty good stock!!I just think the 2.7 Eco Boost Truck should have also been a Crew Cab like the other 2 trucks not a Super Cab!!

 

The numbers are funky though. There's no way the stock 3.5L is 6.32 seconds, it's way faster than that.

I wonder if they "detuned" the stock tune lol

 

exactly as is the 5.0 faster then 6.9 stock. How about axle ratios? They never mentioned it ironically

 

They never mention axle ratios/ different cab configs and I’m sure they tested at high elevation as usual which kills any chance for the 5.0.

5Star is a tuning company therefore they don’t like the V8 because they can’t ram tons of extra air in with turbos. Trucks aren’t about speed though, poorly done test.
