[QUOTE="MachME, post: 16373548, member: 38217"] Did not read the car tests, I doubt they did a boosted launch. WIth the 4x4s, you can get on the converter pretty hard and it hits out of the hole hard. In 2wd, there would be no point. Tremor has 4.10s, only ecoboost besides raptor to get it, and it it will just spin the tires to no end. Especially with the torque hitting fast. And this is not just eco trucks, I see blown 5.0 trucks using 4x4 too. I am saying, the lightning got a forged crank and upgraded pistons over regular 5.4 didnt it? Every single 3.5 on the road have forged internals. Combine that with beefy ringland design, low friction coatings, oil piston squirter, DOHC, all alum. It is a stout little motor and on top of it backed by a 6r80 which a strong transmission. Even the 5.0s see a lot of this technology. My point is everyone says anything besides a v8 sucks. A twin turbo motor in itself is pretty cool. [/QUOTE]
