I have no issues towing with the whipple. I have not owned a 3.5 so I can't compare to the ecoboost but I can say when I see an ecoboost my smile is bigger than theirs

My smile gets noticeably larger when I get behind the wheel of my 2012 Centennial Grand Sport Corvette convertible, drop the top, and go for a drive. It always made the rush hour drive home much more tolerable after a long day at work. I retired in March 2017 so I now get to enjoy it any time I want.

Pecked out on my iPhone.

The same truck pulling the same trailer requires the same power to cruise at the same steady speed. The motor doesn’t change the physics required to move an object through space. However, a 5.0 with a Whipple will have more power in reserve than any of the stock engines. You should be able to accelerate quicker with the Whipple.
