A 5.0L Story

I know this is not a Raptor but thought i would share been working on our F150 5.0L for power/torque and drive ability... These little 5.0L are best of both worlds power and economy...i have been knocking down 19-22 mpg on the highway. Kind of makes me wonder down the road if an eco boost 5.0 in a Raptor would make sense.
Thanks for reading..

Have you done a dyno run, what kind of rwhp/tq numbers are they getting outta the f150?

Those are our runs in this post. We are seeing 20-30 hp out of premium fuel.

Mike do you know how different the f150 5.0 is from the mustang 5.0? I assume the cams are different but what else?

hi troll56
cams and cast factory headers and exhaust seems to be only difference.
We have been focusing on the drive ability of these things even as far as towing close to max weight running our calibration making sure things are safe and in order in real world working conditions.

Small update

We added the AFE intake with our lid/top last week made some good gains on cheap gas.
