Looks like Ford did not like the original numbers that came out of the first Dyno test, they are using a different dyno set up this time. It's good to see Ford follow up on the original test as the numbers did not jive with there own tests.

The problem is that K&N uses a dynojet dyno and it doesn't put a realistic load on the engine. Now that they are switching to an eddy current dyno they should get more realistic numbers (which honestly could be worse, who knows).

Shouldn't they have known that from the start? Anyway it's good to know Ford is keeping an eye on this "independent test"

It's not Ford's idea. Mike talked to both Ford and K&N to figure out why the dyno run for the ecoboost was so messed up.

If Ford had of wanted to do right, they would have sent a 4x4 with 3.73's so that we would have both dyno and real comparsions between the ecoboost and the 5.0 that was previously tested.
Even if they dyno a 4x4 ecoboost with 3.73 we will still not have the "real world" data to compare it against the 5.0

As soon as I get 1000 miles on mine I will load it up with 10k+ lbs and get my own data. Daddy always said if you want something done right, do it yourself.

Ford certainly has their own internal dyno results which show the 2011 engine comparisons better than this one, which is clearly improperly scaled (compare the gaps between the peak torque ratings)



It would be great to see more accurate results.
