I…Engine breaking is not an EcoBoost strong point….
I can say when I tap my brakes the 1st time my rpm jumps to 26-2800. Tap it again and it jumps to a little above 3000, maybe 3300.
Like the 10 speed keeps the engine at it's sweet spot for pulling up hill, I would suspect the 10 speed would do the same for keeping the engine at it's sweet spot (max rpm's without over reving) going down hill for maximum engine braking.
