600hp @ 4000rpm - 800lbs-ft torques @ 1800 rpm on regular gas V10 Ecoboost! http://www.V10ecoboost/moreof/06fargos/bs

Ford is making 600 HP in the Ford GT 3.5L Ecoboost. Why would they double the displacement without a substantial increase in HP??Also a 600 HP engine in something like a truck would require a huge radiator. The van is limited to a smaller output V10 due to overheating problems with the limited space available for the radiator. I am sure that could have been fixed with a 4 core radiator, but they decided to just go smaller HP engine with 2 valves per cylinder instead of the F-350/450/ 550 362 HP V10 with 3 valves per cylinder.Also current model pickup truck transmissions are not really good for that kind of HP and massive torque output. I guess it would be fun to think about though!There are companies that put turbochargers on anything. I guess you could turbocharge a normal V-10 and get a massive amount of power out of a kit, probably only going to cost something in the $8,000 range? And a big beefed up transmission to back it all up. .. Fred.

Year after year people have been saying that Ford is going to release a big inch Ecoboost for there trucks. I have been saying, not going to happen year after year.People have been saying just one more year, just one more year. :SThe only reason to release a big inch turbo engine is to get the duty cycle up. That is just one plus. Unfortunately there are a LOT of minuses. As Fred mentioned cooling is a BIG one. It will take a radiator as big as a house to cool 600 HP with a big duty cycle. Just look at the size of the fan and radiator of the 440 HP 6.7 SD!!!!! :EThen there is the fuel mileage problem. 350 HP V10's drank enough fuel without bolting a turbo on them. A 600 HP turbo V10 will drink WAY over a gallon of fuel a minute at WOT. I bet the EPA would love Ford to do this. :B

I had a supercharger on my 98 Dodge V-10 one ton. 6 mpg but would pull hills with 5th wheel without downshifting. Sold it and went Diesel truck. I did not trust the supporting electronic hardware from Paxton. Lost my a** money wise.

That appears to be a bad link.
