[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 10258513, member: 51847"] Nothings forgotten. I understand 110% about Ford having to deal with this CAFE shit, and its a logical move. Try not to put too much logic behind this though because I do not give damn. I would abandon my brand loyalty to Ford, and go to someone else over this motor. In one sense this is a very stupid move on Fords part. I'm not the only mofo who thinks like this, and a lot of people dishing out $40K+ on a new truck want to go with the premium motor, and don't want to have to settle for some v6 regardless of how good a motor it is. Ford should of atleast rated the 5.0 to be able to tow/haul/work whatever as good as the Ecoboost so that people wanting a v8 can feel good about their new premium truck, and not "damn my truck gets outdone by some 3.5L v6." Yes you are right the Boss does have VVT. Its a big boy though and Ford should develop it into an all aluminum motor. They need to try and lighten it up, and it would probably become very popular with hot rodders. The 16v SOHC's are fine because they actually flow unlike POS 2v Modular heads. [/QUOTE]
