I saw a video where somebody had a supercharger adapted to his 5.0.
<edit>... nevermind I found it.

By the by. Yes I did get 26 mpg. Same way hyper milage guys do. Like the ranger that gets 100 mpg. I drove it so carefully just to get it not for a hole tank but just a 10 mile road trip. Normal I get 14-18 depending on where I drive and how I drive and how much foot I feel like putting in it to hear that v8!!!!!! I love that sound.

yeah and the speculation I've seen has more to do with tuners making assumptions that they should not be making than anything else.

I cant understand how the rest of you cant seem to understand how superior the Ecoboost is than any other engine ever made,past, present or future...I mean it is the end all of engines...the Alpha and Omega......it will never be topped and anyone with a different engine is a sniveling loser......
The only time an ecoboost engine is beat is if the ecoboost is in something other than an FX and the other engine we are talking about is in the FX.....but an FX Ecoboost is the super supreme vehicle of all time.....
If you will just come to accept our greatness, it will cause less ulcers...
Now turn around and get me another drink, this one is weak as water....and that steak better not get burnt........

Love Turbo V6 & Coyote V8
First of all, let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t about bashing Ford’s reliability. Ford is just the first automaker that’s using turbo-chargers to replace displacement in a fullsize pickup. Please don’t read this as anything other than a commentary on the future of the industry. Ford deserves a ton of credit for bringing this technology to the table first.
Secondly, it’s important to recognize that the truck industry is in a bit of a pickle. Ford invested in EcoBoost engine technology because they anticipated the need to sell trucks that get upwards of 30mpg, which is the recently announced federal fuel economy for light trucks. While there are some caveats on that number (it’s not going to be 30mpg in real life), the fact of the matter is that trucks have to get about 25% more fuel efficient over the next 6 years. That’s not a lot of time.
As a result, automakers are looking towards turbochargers and/or superchargers, variable valve lift and timing, variable displacement, direct injection (both homogeneous like the EcoBoost and stratified like some diesels), HCCI, and other cutting-edge engine technologies to try and get a 25% fuel economy improvement without sacrificing power or features.
Of course, this begs the question: Would you rather have a high-tech V6 that gets great mileage or a significantly less complicated V8 that generates the same amount of power but with worse gas mileage?
This issue is going to come down to maintanance as the issue I am sure. Ford has some history with mistakes and a new motor is going to test its reliabilty. But Ford has made the first step towards new fuel standards with this step. Check back in 5 years to find the answer.
The future as I see it will put a smaller Diesel motor into F150 lineup to boost mileage..

But it was not a twin turbo as this is and the turbo back then was on the 4.3 in a S10 not a full size truck... Just saying... The S10 Cyclone and the S10 Blazer was typhon... Not really Full size trucks.... Anything smaller than a full size is not a truck its a truck wanna be....
. So what if it has 2 turbo chargers, you make it sound like in that top quote that Ford was the first to use turbo charging as a cubic inch replacement. 2 or 1 turbo makes no difference but if it does to you, then sure.... I will say it (with a dumb&slow speaking voice just for you) Ford made the 1st twin turbo charged FULL size truck. Happy?
Next, who cares if its a full size or not.. I didn't come on here to bash you, just correct you on a comment you posted. Of coarse I see that you are the type of person that if someone corrects you that you jump to talking down to them!!! I guess its to make you feel like the bigger man?????.
So I guess I know what side of the fence you stand on based on your signature slogan. You are on the problem side.
Sorry to burst yours, but Chevy wasn't either.

All BRATs had four-wheel drive and the Subaru EA engine. Early models received a 1.6L EA-71 whereas 1981 and later models received a 1.8 L EA-81 engine. 1983 and 1984 models could be purchased with an optional 94 hp (70 kW) turbocharged engine
