torque curves of the new truck engines

judging by the new 5.3 numbers, GM is sandbagging the LT1 numbers by a lot.

Nice kill!! Totally wasnt expecting for you to pull him up top like that. Thing sure does have some mean top end!


:)

yup! another boss 302 goes down to my bolt on ls1!

damn fords!

they STANK!

hmmeh...Red X for me....Nice Kill?

Nice kill. I thought he had you, but he never had you. He never had his car.

This graph is something I'd expect to see as a homework assignment for children. Looks poorly made.

Good kill op, way to puppy kick that vtech mustang srt8.

Best kill ever!

it's fords own graph with the torque curve of the new 5.3 laid onto it.

Looks like that Ecoboost kicked some serious ass in that graph.

boosted engine--- no surprise really. the 5.3 has higher fuel economy and towing ratings though.

Nice kill...

Curious as to how long the Ecoboost motors will last

i sure as shit wouldn't want to own a TT ford engine off warranty.

I say why not. Let the turbos fail and ill be excited about stuffing bigger snails under the hood. Let it eat!!

Ill be honest..there is a guy on the milgo servers (arma 2) with that name..and you literally brought back bad memories with that name. :bomb:

This is the first I've seen of the 5.3 power figures. Looks promising for a entry level v8. I like the ecoboost stuff too, just not sure I would want the added complexity in a truck.

if just one of those turbos goes, there goes any possible fuel savings you might have gotten.

but yes you're right this is GM's entry level V8. supposedly around a $700 option over the V6. great deal.

I own a 2012 fx4 eco boost there low ned torque is ridiculous for stock, on the dyno it put down 338 rwhp and 429 rwtq. It's tuned now just waiting to dyno it again.

wut?......

Why the hell is this posted in sr & k?

That's what my eco boost layed down stock. The dyno must be reading alittle high

OP was trolling.
