Cool vids.

That 6.2 sounds amazing!!!!

Always good to see the EB hold its ground, im very pleased with mine.

On a side note, I hate the 3 beeps and then go. The guy beeping the horn has a clear advantage and the 3rd beep always comes faster than the first 2.

 

Lol thats exactly what i was thinking when i read that.

 

Oh boy! There ain't no replacement for... Yeah, right. I know drag racing isn't what trucks are all about, but that all says enough. There was clearly no advantage there at all with the 6.2L - especially for the extra cost for the upgrade and the thirst. The little engine that could hung right there - no question. I'd love to see a towing run. My money would have to go to the EcoBoost. Unfortunately, I'm looking at the 6.7L and it for some reason it wont come with an F150 .

 

I haven't drove a F-150 with the 6.2 in it.But i was impressed when i raced my 2011 F-150 XLT Supercab 4X4,EcoBoost and 3.55 gears in it.It only had 700 miles on it and ran a 14.97 at 93 mph in the 1/4 mile.I might take it back to the track on the 25th of September if the weather is nice.

Later Mark.

 

Agreed!

The 6.7L is a sweet piece of oil-burning machinery! My dad has one, and it's quiet, tows like a dream, and gets great fuel economy...better than his flawless '03 6.0. Towing or empty, he gets 2-3 MPG (hand calculated) better than his 6.0. If you can swing a 6.7, I say go for it. I would love to have an F150 for the everyday driving comfort, but the F250 is much more stable towing our fifth wheel!

 

One small thing I noticed is it says the eco was spooling the turbos each time but the guy in the 6.2 wasn't building any power at the line, he just stomped the gas on the third honk. I don't know how much of a difference it would have made but it for sure does make a difference to build some torque at the launch.

 

Interesting vids...

 

I pull 2 lengths on my brothers 6.2 limited off the line with my ecoboost, and hold them until we hit the speed limiters. I'm surprised to see the two trucks being that close in those vids.

 

well great vids, but i don't no how that 6.2 is taking off without spinning the tires because my 6.2 just spins the tires and that is just getting into it real fast, if you just jam it to the floor it will spin and hit the rev limit, im not even sure the TC works

 

This is about the only reply with any common sense put into it. The ecoboost is a damn fine motor but Ford built it to be more appealing then the 6.2 so why would anyone expect the 6.2 to outperform the ecoboost? Put twin turbos on the 6.2 at 15psi and build it with towing in mind and it would be absolute embarassment for the ecoboost. If I was buying any of these motors with drag racing in mind I would choose the 6.2 and 5.0 before the ecoboost as a starting point. Boost is definitely a replacement for displacement and Ford just proved it with the ecoboost motor but with all things being equal, displacement will win everytime. Sadly it has also brought out the idiocy in some people.

 

Thanks for posting the link to the videos!!

 

Well, no ***** sherlock!

Of course, if you boost a 6.2 with 15 psi it's going to outrun a boosted 3.5. But, a boosted 6.2 isn't a stock engine now, is it? I'm pretty sure we were comparing apples to apples, and not apples to cumquats.

 

Here is some real testing on the trucks

Are you kidding.

 

I'm not sure what you guys expected with this. The 6.2 computer mapping does not allow WOT until 3800rpms. The EB doesn't have that limitation. Put a chip that allows WOT from the start in that 6.2 and it's a completely different ball game with the EB sucking lots of 6.2 exhaust. So why does the 6.2 have this? To keep the morons from destroying the drive train. Yeah, there's that much power there and an endless supply of morons.
