for starters numb nuts I never said the 5.0 pulls better. I've never pulled with the ecoboost. I said I chose the 5.0 and made statements about the ecoboost. I am fully aware of how a turbo works but I'm not real sure you are. But keep reading fords website, you'll be an expert before you know it. and you still havent answered your own simple question, guess cause it wasnt on the spec sheet. here's an idea, go out in your yard and dig around in the tall grass, there's a clue in there somewhere and you will find it sooner or later.
