you do a little research then you try again. look at fords website.http://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/specifications/

it may or may not give boost at say 5000 rpms but who pulls a load down the hwy at 5000 rpms? all your pulling is between 2 and 2500 on a gas motor right where the eccoboost is putting out 420 torques.

thanks for the generic spec sheet. that's great research you did. keep up the good work.

Nick, they are both great motors. I chose the 5.0 but you will be happy with either one. good luck with the new truck.
