5.0 vs Powerboost Engine

[CoolCoyote]

I don't care how much quicker a PB is, nothing beats the sound of a Coyote V8.

Its cute you think your PB is competition for a Super Duty.....

It’s better than cute
I get to read fun comparisons like this :
“A 6.7 will make the PowerBoost feel like a dog much more than the PowerBoost will make a 5.0 feel like a dog”

Squarely placed between a 6.7 PowerStroke and the little 5.0 ?

I bought some Dry Aged bone-in ribeye Delmonico steak for the cabin trip this weekend. **$29.99 per pound**.Going to cook it rare and slice up to hand out. Thought you guys might wanna know.

$36 per pound.

I think you paid too much, the sticker on your package says 29.99

Too bad that you’re so far away. I would happily munch on one with you. ? We could even plug my Rectec smoker into the PB and have some badass brisket!

Edit: That's actually a pork butt, but we can do both. It has the space.

I was putting your PB behind all powerstrokes. I also don't think the 5.0 is a dog. It's not in the middle. It's just a strong half ton, period.

We can throw some 5.0 king crab in the mix as well.

Agreed, different beasts. I saw a VERY nice 6.7 high output F350 today a few spots down today. It made my F150 look like a Ranger.

I'll throw this into the pile. At high altitude, the 5.0 is worthless. Put a 4-6,000 pound camper behind it, and try to drive up I-70 to the Eisenhower tunnel and you will never again buy a small displacement NA V8. The Powerboost destroys the V8 in every aspect when doing truck things. If you live at or near sea level, and use your truck for getting groceries, picking up the kids from school etc. Im sure its fine.

Now, a Whipple on a 5.0, thats a different story. The Coyote loves boost.

This is why I asked to change from the 5.0 to the 2.7 on my company fleet order. I live at 8,700'

Yes I know that. Besting the PB with a PowerStroke is a far easier task to set than with a 5.0

Your choice of weapon makes sense.

Sure. OK. Enjoy your truck. May all your babies be born naked.

So far so good. ?

Hey I think we did an admirable job on that horse this time!
Continue enjoying your amazing V8. I love hearing it sing at full throttle!

I'm going to try to get this thread to 10 pages.

The 3.3L is the best engine Ford has ever made.

I did want to mention Ford’s mistake in dropping the NA3.3, which was probably the most reliable option for the F150 after the 6.2 was dropped.

Now that there is a reliable workhorse of an engine. Probably beat the PB in a tug of war any day

It’s all about the gearing and coefficient of friction available. Ballast down an old Hilux and install a double transfer case setup for some serious but slow low gear.

My old Range Rover Classic has a second tow rating for low gear and shows an illustration of one towing a huge fly bridge fishing boat in the manual! ? That old Buick 3.5 V8 is nothing to sneeze at!
