I try to explain this but then the 5.0 guys get butthurt. if your only doing some simple mods and not willing to drop 9k on a supercharger, its extremely hard to beat an ecoboost. This is where I am at.

Horsepower per dollar spent is important to some people. Some people have no budget. Build what you like and enjoy it, and don’t worry about keeping up with the Jones’s. There’s ALWAYS something faster out there.

Not hard to beat an Ecoboost at all. Stock 2018 RCSB 5.0 will beat any stock Ecoboost truck.

Exactly. I’m doing the Gen 3 Whipple...not to be faster than anyone else but just because I’ve turbo or supercharged everything I’ve ever had just to put a smile on my own face. The Joneses can do whatever they want...

I just realized he was doing 2.0+ second 60' and still running a 12.65. That is nuts. Easy low 12s if that time came down a bit.

Just couldnt help yourself.

First of all, I said a tune and mild mods. Not stock.

Second, I(and most other people it seems) need/want a crew cab with 4x4. Most of us dont want/cant live with an 2x4 RSCB. Any truck that I(and most other people it seems) buy will be faster with an Ecoboost on a tune only or mild bolt on build. I drive a crew cab 6.5' bed and dont care what an RCSB can do, I care what a crew cab 6.5' can do. I also plan on never modding beyond a tune and possibly an intercooler since my truck is meant to haul my family and tow a trailer.

Beating this 5.0 RSCB horse is like saying the 5.0 is better than the ecoboost because the 2018 mustang is faster. Two totally different vehicles and its just silly.

Its great that they are that quick, I am glad, but I just dont care what any RCSB can do.

Any engine in a single cab setup will be faster than the exact same engine in a supercrew setup, due to weight. Single cabs will always have more potential to be faster. So when you post up single cab timeslips, it’s apples to orange to compare thrm to a super crew setup.

chimmike

right, but if you want to buy a vehicle to tune and be fast, why would you buy an aerodynamic block versus a mustang, Camaro, or mopar?

RCSB can tow, sure. But who you totin' around with you, and at the mpg penalty you wouldn't see in a car...............jus sayin'.

Oh, I agree. If you want a vehicle strictly for the track, a truck is the last thing you want. But with the conversation at hand always being 5.0 vs ecoboost, you have to take cab style into account.

I say build it and Enjoy it period..

If I put a ecoboost in my power wheelchair it will beat any 5.0 ever built in any chassis ford sold....yep still has 4 wheels and a single cab-ish
