Thank you so much for all the kind words ! Greatly appreciate it and have really enjoyed checking out all of the trucks on here , there's some trucks making crazy power !!! I'll try to answer the ?s from all that have posted ")

My truck is a 3.5 ecoboost and my Dailey driver so it will never be impressive at the track, etc. ..

I don't have any good pics of engine compartment but will soon. .. My engine cover is being smoothed out and painted at a local body shop and modifying a GT500 aluminum intercooler reservoir to replace the ugly factory plastic one.

The boat is a project aswell.. it is a 07 and originally had a 375 hp 496 . I replaced it with a 450 hp 454 mag but having serious thoughts of doing a LS swap but dropping compression a little so can add a Whipple . The mid cabin Challengers are really rare and took me 2 years to find and when you find a good one, they are pricey. . High 30s to high 40s with trailer

I almost traded my truck for a 2015 f150 ecoboost. I like the way it doesn't hunt gears while pulling like my 6.2 does. The only thing that stopped me is the lack of fuel for the engine if you want to go bigger turbo's. But at least you can swap the new GT40 turbo's for your stock ones.

I hear ya ! Fuel is definitely the limiting factor but hoping as the new Raptors and Ford GT'S hit the streets more products will be available. Even thought about trying to modify a Hellion 3.7 kit ")

What does your boat weigh and do you like the way the new 15 eco pulls it. I have a 24' supra SSV and my next boat will be a nautique G23 so I'll have to trade up to a different truck with a bigger two rating. But I don't want to go diesel, So do I go DI 6.2 or Eco??

You've got great taste ! I love those boats , shocked how much room they have. My boat without trailer, fuel, or gear weighs in at 7300 lbs according to the specs I have.

I've had a few 10 sec Lightnings and Harley truck and last build was a Procharged 5.0 FX2 F150. I was very skeptical of stepping down to a 6 cylinder but after seeing how well they respond to mods, I decided to try. I couldn't be happier with the 3.5 ecoboost and highly recommend it . Gains of 109 rwhp and 158 tq with just tune is impressive ... and then there's some running 12.3xs with just a tune ��

wow that's an impressive time for tune only. I thought they where only running 12.6-12.8 with tune only. Make think twice about what some of the new DI motors are running with a 5,000 supercharger.

I know right ! I'm curious to see how the new Gen 2 Ecoboost perform,especially with a 10 speed auto behind it ....
