Nice numbers.

What's it sound like?

 

The supercharger is pretty quiet at the current boost level. It is not even close to a stock Lightning's supercharger noise level.

 

Those 5.0s just don't put out any torque. I'm sure ill **** people off saying this but Ford should have left the 5.0 in the stang. It's a great car motor, but just isn't a truck motor. I would have went 3.7, 3.5, and 6.2.

Anyway back on topic, I really want to see a roush blower on more boost with a good tune. JLPs setup is awesome but I want to see what a daily driver (reliable) power level will be

 

Nice numbers...yes the roush tune stinks. I finaly got a better one from my installer but havent put it on the rollers yet. I will be getting the 11-12psi pulley shortly and then ill have new numbers. Stock pully for me was 9psi

Few questions

What gear 3rd or 4th

how much timing?

 

YO
MA'
THE MEATLOAF!

Now, how about some updates? I am dying to FI my 5.0 and you are one of the few that have done it here. Must know more! How do you like driving it? What gears are you currently running?

 

^^ LMFAO!! My favorite part of that movie!

Oh, and IRONS1N...I love ya man (no homo) and you certainly know yer stuff, but the 5.0 engine does quite well in the F150. Have ya driven one? INFINITELY better in all aspects that the old 5.4.

OP, daddy likey!!

 

I have driven one and I do agree vastly better then the gutless 5.4/4R75 setup. However my only problem with the 5.0 is that it's like the Chevy motors in that they are car motors so peak torque is high in the rpm range. Hell I don't tow much and it'd probably even be a good daily driver for me lol. If I bought a 5.0 it'd be on 13-14psi (mustangs handle it). I'm not trying to **** in anyone's cereal just saying in my opinion the lack of torque sucks.

 

Nobody's cereal got pissed in here.

And I'll agree that it's more "peaky" than the EB. No doubt that the EB delivers more torque more quickly in the RPM range, and it delivers it more evenly. Having said that, I wouldn't describe the torque offering from the 5.0 as a "lack of torque" or even that it "sucks". It just delivers it differently than the TT EB...obviously.

But a car motor? Nah. It's configured for more torque and less hp than the 5.0 in the Mustangs.

Boy, it didn't take long to spoil us Ford fellers. Now we're not happy with 380 ft lbs of torque.

Now, throw boost to the 5.0? Different ballgame altogether!

 

Yea they make 380 but I would take the 365 from the 5.4 as from what I've seen comes in lower and maintains for towing. It's peak torque vs strong torque curve which is why I say it lacks torque. Anyway you are right. 380 doesn't even make me happy now lol just spoiled.

 

We always want more, more, MORE! I'm right there with ya on that one, bud. No doubt.

That's why I'm hoping Santa will bring me this for Christmas:

See the dyno graphs. Notice how the torque curve starts higher after these mods and remains more consistent throughout? Even when the stock setup falls off, torque and hp stay strong up to around 6200 RPM.

Even though I'm not complaining about the performance of my 5.0, I'll definitely take an extra 45-55 ft lbs at the 2500-2700 RPM range.

Oh, and sorry fer the thread crap, OP. I'm on a roll today!

 

Yea peak stock is a car like 4200ish which sucks. However that boss upgrade looks like a beast! Pretty badass a truck revving that high

 

True. The Boss mod provides another hefty bump (looks like around 50 ft lbs) right at around 2500-2700 RPMs...right where it's more useful.

 

Anyway I don't mean to be a **** I understand the 5.0 is a great motor, has mod potential and the cheapest engine for the truck. I'm not trying to say no one should buy it or that it's a mistake for those that did.

 

Oh no worries here, bud. I know ya weren't saying that, and it wouldn't bother me if ya did. I love my 5.0, and it serves any purpose I'd ever throw at it.

 

After driving my 2010 5.4 for 105000 miles, I agree with irons1n. The torque on that engine is good down low where I need it. I have driven the 5.0 in rental trucks, and it just doesn't have any low end grunt. Sounds great when you stand on it, but I live 98% of my miles between 1500 to 3000 rpm, and the 5.0 just doesn't like those low rpms.
I would think a blower would really help it where it needs it.
I have been very satisfied with the 5.4 in this truck and its pulling power. It seems to be mated well with the 6 speed.
