Theres no denying, those ecoboost engines run... I'd like to see a dyno sheet for one of them.

anybody else catch the "3.42 axle ratio is the highest available with the 5.3L v8" at the bottom..
that doesnt sound right to me is it...??
I never trust self sponsored tests like this, but it is looking to be a good little engine..

I saw that too...I assume they are running the A6. Only A4 has the 3.73 option.

You can probably order it from the factory that way.

They should put the 6.2 in this test. The dodge is a 5.7 rated at 390 hp to the Chevys 5.3 315 hp. But I thought that it was interesting see a turbo'd 6 in a truck. And it looked to be tearin up those other trucks.

Those new ecoboost engines are top notch. They run REALLY well. Thought i saw a video on youtube somewhere where an ext. cab f150 with the new ecoboost V6 ran a 14.6 @ 96.
