5.0 plus e85 ecokiller!

Looking at this dyno and then adding the 15 horsepower and 10 pounds of torque from E85 you will quickly see the 5.0 in a RCSB is the fastest stock truck Ford offers .

Even though I know this whole thread is just Loki seeking attention, I still feel compelled to point out that if you use this same-day, same-condition dyno comparison http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2011/04...8-engines.html , and assumed the Ford gains are at the wheels (they are not), then the Eco would still have a 2 hp and 65 ft-lb advantage even with the 5.0 on race gas. I think a 2 hp and 65 ft-lb disadvantage wouldn't exactly qualify it as an ecokiller. Heck, even by the first dyno linked, a 10 hp advantage doesn't exactly make anything a killer.

Yes, of course, you can pick apart any dyno test you want. I read that dyno test in detail, and they spent 7 hours experimenting with the EB to get accurate low-end torque numbers, which will NOT at all affect the top end hp of the 5.0. The one you posted wasn't great either. And if you think street racing on the 3rd honk is a conclusive test, you are less experienced than I thought. I think somone ran a low 14.3 in a stock Screw Ecoboost - what's the fastest an all-stock 5.0 truck ran? And with at least two ~400 rwhp bolt-on ecoboosts on the road, it will be intersting to see what they when sorted out at the track.

You can't be serious.
