The result? An additional 90 HP and 147 Lb-Ft of torque at the wheels, verified on two different dynos. Assuming a 20 percent drive train loss due to the automatic transmission and AWD, our elementary school math results in an estimation of 458 HP and 517 Lb-Ft at the crank

12.4 in the quarter--not bad for a 6-cylinder. I wonder how many bodies you could fit in the trunk?

517 lb ft of torque, and people weren't sure how the 3.5 ecoboost would work in a F150. Thats more torque then any of the F150s current V8s. probably peaks at lower rpms too.

Chick car


Supposedly a Livernois tune a Corsa catback and a Airraid CAI and you've got that 90hp and a warranty delete.
