Ecoboost engine question
With the Eco doing so well and loved by many and bragged about by Ford. Why is it not offered in the F250 ? I love mine but I'm curious.

3.5 eco is not maxed out power wise. Lots and lots of guys are running tunes with 80 or more extra hp and 120 ft lbs of torque.
Ford overbuilt the 3.5 block so it can handle this extra power. I have heard of no tranny's failing but one guy lost a rear end probably becaus he towed 15k
That's like saying my blown SBC is not maxed out at 600 HP. I could always go 40% over on the blower and make 1,000 HP. :R
This is an easy formula:
When power goes up, duty cycle goes down.
When power goes down, duty cycle goes up.
How high of a duty cycle do you want? How much power you want?
And how many Ecoboost F-150's have you seen pulling a 53' reefer trailer long haul?
