guess ther is one way to find out....run em and report back ... i dont like loosing to a ford any more than the rest of us but hey if it happens it happens just my thought..

 

We may run against each other if he is willing when I get mine broken in. Only have 350 miles on my 5.3.

 

I have a 2011 f150 5.0 work truck and I will say it should take a stock 5.3 easy...

 

best of luck to ya larry hope you get the w
some of the hardest running stock vehicles ive seen have been drove like they have been stolen from the day they were new

 

let us know on the outcome..

 

Thanks guys! I will definitely post the results if we line em up.

 

stock for stock the 5.0 will spank the 5.3

 

I ran a 5.0 the other day on my way home from work I had him off the line then he came around me around 400 foot mark the had me by a truck maybe 2.

 

Wow, and you have an intake tune and exhaust.

 

Fords got a winner with their new 5.0 we've had a few of them come through the shop all of them oilfield trucks with 80-100 thousand on them and all hard oilfield miles and have been beat to hell and back and still sound nice and quiet and run like scalded apes. Trucks we've had through didn't have a straight panel on them and trashed in all sense of the word.


My bet is on the ford this time. 5.3 can barely pull it's own weight especially with a 6 speed and no gears.
