And FIFTY less horsepower. But yeah, those two more cylinders make you sleep easier at night.


I have 390hp/407tq and can average 21 (almost 22) mpgs on the interstate.

ETA: And that's with 20" rims, 275/60/20 tires, and 3.55 rear gear.

My point was that the Ecoboost beats the shite out of the 5.3 GM V8 - an engine that is basically unchanged since its introduction in 1999 (somewhere along the way they've found 15HP). And I'm not even getting into projected reliability. He simply said the Ecoboost felt weak compared to his 5.3, and objectively speaking that just isn't possible.

I'm happy your Ram is doing so well, I thought you traded it for a Challenger?
