Had a chance to personally drive and run an EcoBoost a couple weeks back. It is an impressive setup, but no match for a tuned 6.2 Chevy, especially from a dig. By 70, I had several lengths on the Ford. Didn't get a video, since there weren't any passengers in either truck.

The biggest thing I observed about the EcoBoost, was that the mileage wasn't any better than I see from a 5.3 or 6.2 chevy. It was getting about 18 mpg at 70mph, with the cruise on.

 

Was this dyno run in 2nd gear?

 

Here is the type of testing ive been waiting to find

6.2 vs ecoboost stock for stock apple to apples

 

On the second vid I wish the eco guy would have boosted up,but the top end speaks for itself.

 

Yea that would have been completely different if the guy had known how to drive. My roommate has has a excab 4x4 eco all stock with 3.73 gears and it would have murdered both of those trucks with a boosted 4x4 launch. Thing runs about like my mid 13 sec duramax.

 

hearing it from you it worries me but what about the top end pull in this video?

 

The top end looked similar in the dig race up to 14~15 seconds. I think on avg a decent running 6.2 will prob come out on top with both trucks being 2wd. The eco in a 4x4 with a good driver and 3.73 gear could be hard to beat due to the boosted launch with traction. Some of the eco's have really high gears like a 3.15. From a roll the 6.2 GM should have no worries.

 

i have been reading alot of ford forums, and checking inventory and pricing. i have come to a conclusion: I'm trading my chevy for a ford.

to be more specific, a 2013 f150 5.0 scsb 2wd, w/3.55 rear.

heres why:

my payment will go down, my insurance will go down, it gets better gas mileage, and its WAY faster than my truck. i dont need 4wd or a longbed anymore, so this is the way to go for me.

with just a tune the truck will run 14.0, and an intake and exhaust, running 13.5. Thats way easier than doing intake, cam, headers, exhaust, stall, and tune in my truck.


however, this winter is supposed to be very cold and wet, so i'm keeping the 4wd until spring.

 

houston we have a problem..lol having a 6.2 awd with a tune, intake, headers and exaust i wasnt really to worried about any of the fords... but i have to admit now im sweating alil err alot
my truck runs 13.9s at 100mph @ 5680lbs

strait from livernos
Earlier tonight a customer of ours was at the track with his EB F150 Supercrew 4WD, 3.55. It's Bone Stock other than our 93 tune and ran 13.67 @ 97.45 at 5400lbs

and here is way that damn lil ford ran a 60'...1.859 !!!!

how the hell im i gonna get that kinda 60s to even make it a race..lol

 

I feel like the only way GM could take the market back from the ecoboost is if they went through with the baby Dmax in a half ton. Other than that, GM coming out with Direct Injection and 8 speed autos ain't gonna cut it
