That can't be. It gained less HP then the 3.5 going down to 3.3 Proportionately, while the 5.0 gained 5 cubic inches, 1.5 CR, and direct injection.

The truck engine has to meet totally different requirements, which is why they purposefully detune it. Much like how the F-250 version of the 6.2 was weaker than the same engine in the F-150.

They're trying to make these F-150s as reliable as possible and as capable of high mileage as possible because fleets across the nation use them. I've seen 5.0 trucks with 375,000 miles or more on them, all original.

Yes it's actually 65HP rating difference now. Leads me to believe Ford is sandbagging to protect it's little V6 brothers.

Well, that part is obvious. Everybody knows that a V8 is capable of far more. But Ford purposefully wants to push the EcoBust stuff onto as many consumers as they can so that they can pat themselves on the back and say "look at what we accomplished!". Just imagine if they put those twin turbos on the V8 instead (which they may do next year for the GT500 car). Whoa.

I'm just saying that regarding the differences between the same engine in cars vs. trucks, it's always been that trucks are detuned on purpose to give them more longevity. This is even true in the medium-duty truck segment. As you go up in size of truck, power ratings go down. Look at a F-650 vs. F-250. Same diesel, big power rating differences.

I posted this a few weeks ago, along with a video of that truck on the street running 0-100. Ive been following them like a hawk lol.

Video looks like somehwere around 13.5-14.0 seconds to 100 mph. I'm thinking in non rscb form that seems about right.

why don't they ever do baseline 93 numbers to tuned 93 numbers? Instead baseline 87 stock tune to 93 performance tune. It's silly.

but 60whp is 60whp
