Oh don't get me wrong I've never been disappointed with an ecoboost either. Everyone I've ever met that drives one is really nice, they always let me win. Come to think of it the Raptor guys are really nice too.

both engines already have more power than most need stock. Anything extra is just for the fun factor!

Not really comparable. A $600 tuner and an ecoboost aren’t in the same realm of power a supercharged 5.0 puts out. Different ball game, the 5.0 can do 700-800 horsepower......

The 3.5 EB makes 645hp and 550 lb-ft of torque in a Ford GT and won Le Mans meaning race reliability too. A Shelby Raptor with a 3.5 Eco Boost Raptor engine makes 525 HP and 610 lb-ft of torque. A little tweak here and there and the 3.5 Eco Boost can also become a monster.

Still a long way off from 750-800 at the crank on the whipple 5.0. And you're really not comparing apples to apples since the GT ecoboost motor had a different all aluminum intake, different oiling system, larger turbo's, and different cam's in addition higher strength internals than the F150. Not even close to the same motor.
a Whippled 5.0 is the way to go.I'm content with a tuned Ecoboost, but I probably wouldn't be content with just a tune on a 5.0

These replies are golden. I currently have gen 2 CTSV with about 590 hp at the rear wheel. My GM SUV with the 6.2 would be so much better with a blower but I'm not will to dump the funds into it as it is a 2012. Would like a 2016+ F150 with the whipple. Based on the feedback I think this will be the way I go.
How is the throttle response with the whipple vs the EB? Off of idle, off of cruise, etc.
