talking to my local repair garage owner, he saw my truck and asked, 'its not the ecoboost, is it'? I say /no why'? He said 'man, I replace timing chains on those all the time' I then told him I was gonna race a 2.7 eb at Atco(before sofaking backed out) and he laughed and said 'I will kill him.... if he did not break the timing chain first!' True story.

This thread has turned (pretty much always has been) so stupid.
Enough already.

He may be confusing the 2.7 for the 3.5 lol. But yes, you don't have to look far. At Tyco, they 3.5EB's were a pain. I recently became a part owner at a new company, and guess what, the owner had a 3.5EB that blew up. So I am being strongly discouraged, possibly not permitted, by the principal owner to order any ecoboost. Not a coincidence I'm sure.

I do know for SURE when my friend let me drive his 2018 2.7 eb SCREW, it made me smile. I KNEW for a fact it was not as fast as my 5.0. Not even close. Thats a fact. I have NO concern beating a 2.7 as long as its stock now.

Is your truck stock the way it came from the factory?Is your friends truck a 4X4 if so the other guy had a Super Cab 2wd IIRC?Also the friends truck was probably skipping gears if not under WOT with the 10 speed in it!!!
