I hear all these great reviews on the Eco-Boost engine and all the power it creates. Somewhere I read a few years back it had more HP and torque then my 2500 HD gas. Why doesn't Ford or Chevy offer ...

look at factory V6 turbo rpm's at said power
then at a standard V8 rpm..
people complain of a V8 at 4,000 rpm's..,now live with a V6 Turbo at 6,000s
fyi, a turbo diesel cooling system can easily handle a V8 Gas turbo.. but the crankshaft will not.
cast crankshaft vers forged.
That rpm level would be for a car not a truck. Look at the 3.5 EB HP/TQ rpms. Peak TQ is at 2250-3500 and HP at 5,000.
Never heard of an EB owner complain about his truck having to be wound out. Most say they love the low rpm TQ.
