2015 Lincoln EcoBoost vs the Ike Gauntlet
The EcoBoost performance was pretty impressive and I couldn't help notice how relatively low the RPM's were too. Link

Math is invalid, as you are only applying it to the 6.2. Contrary to popular belief turbo vehicles can decrease power at elevation, so without knowing by how much it's hard to compare with math. Especially considering the 6.2 accelerated where the EB didn't, so what does that do to the math?
Each turbo engine is different, so that data is needed. The EB appears to have mechanical WG's, is that true or is there a solenoid providing air to them??
All I have to do is watch the last 30 seconds of each run. The EB was WOT to maintain speed, the 6.2 was not. So that's tell me the EB didn't have power to spare, and the 6.2 did. Hard to get waxed with power to spare.
Feel is all relative, pedal position is not. They were impressed by it's operation, that doesn't mean it did better or worse... just that they were impressed. Impressions are based on perceptions, maybe they didn't expect it to do so well. Forced induction motors don't need rpms, so they always "feel" like they aren't working as hard as a NA motor. It doesn't mean they aren't.
IMHO the test would be a lot more valid if you were to put each rig in CC at 60 or 65 (lowest speed limit of the climb) and see what happens. Record mpg and time. Right feet are harder to hold steady, one of the reasons I try to pull all grades in CC.
Turtle, watch each video again. Your picking parts out that help your statement, but it's not the whole story. There is about 1/2 mile right at 11K feet that is 7%, this is the highest/steepest part of the climb. That is where the 6.2 had power left and the EB didn't.
