17 "Dislikes" are chevy fans shitting their pants

@p4t0p3p3 yea but if it was called ecoboost i wouldn't touch it.. lol

@zoomping1 nah the new 5.0 is much like the older 4.6 small bore equal length stroke, the 5.0 of last deacade had a 4.00bore and 3.00stroke this new 5.0 uses a i think 3.600bore and a 3.550stroke. the new 5.0 doesnt have to spin high to make its max power. the 5.0 pushrod never saw 250hp in the truck thats at 5,200rpm now the new 5.0 claimed to make 360hp at 5.500rpm and 380 ft lbs of torque at 4.300rpm. if you put a bigger intake cam on the new 5.0 youll have roughly 416hp and 390trq...

@hendo337 im sure there will be tunes for it

@zoomping1 Trust me you would never know driving it...I have a 2011 F-150 FX4 Supercab 5.0L and it never go's past 3,000 RPMS. As a matter of the fact 90% of the time it never go's higher than 2500 RPMS...It makes the F-150 feel like a much lighter truck than it really is.

@hendo337 its a truck so they put a cam with a more low end power band therefore less hp more torque

[MinecraftAventures]

I prefere the EcoBoost :P , Enought Torque and best fuel economie :P

[tyrone121285]

@zoomping1 Yeah I guess you're right. 

[zoomping1]

@tyrone121285

it isn't just lower compression, you also have to factor in vehicle weight. and naturally a full size pickup truck is about 1000 lbs heavier than a sports car

@vadergamefreek

I think it's actually the same 5.0 that Ford used for many years prior to about 1997 - same cubic inch capacity (302 ci), same bore and stroke. The major differences are back then, they used the ol cast iron material and pushrod overhead valves. This version is all aluminum and it's dual overhead cam/32 valve. As powerful as this "new" 5.0 is, it does have to turn more rpm to generate it than the old iron-block 5.0.

Still, a great engine nevertheless

@hendo337: Well they had to retune that engine, because torque distribution is so vital for pick up trucks vs. cars. And when they retuned it, for whatever reason thats the numbers they came out with.
