This is a fact and I want to
This is a fact and I want to set the record straight. Fords manager of there performance department of corporate stated this or something in the vicinity-the only fuel that makes a difference is the E-85 flex fuel for the V-8 5.0 and he stated that it ups the horsepower 15-20 notches which would put the current V-8 over 400 hp...Im going to tell you for a complete fact and Id gladly debate it with any of you-I had a 2014 fx4 with the old 5.0 v8 and I loved it I thought it was a good engine then I drove a new 2015 v-8 and and I traded my 14 in on a 15 the next week. Hey call me fickle but it is what it is..my best friend has a 2013 fx4 with and ecoboost and its a very fast engine but its different it has a totally different feel to it...it was faster than the 14 v8, especially off the jump and from zero to 60...im telling you now this new 2015 5.0 V-8 is the fastest stock truck engine iv ever drove stock 0-60, sound, power. whatever the hell you want to call it and you put it in sport mode and it changes the gearing up and its mid range power to accelerate onto the highway kills anything the ecoboost, hemi, chevy ecodeisel, whatever...now I have not driven a 2015 ford with the ecoboost and the 700 pound lighter frame I am only going to speak on what I MYSELF have driven...the E-85 power upgrade is very noticeable however my gas mileage went from like 15.3 around town down to about 11.4 mpg so its a huge difference in gas...again im speaking on experience...you guys can look up the ford managers comments about E-85 octane because their right on the internet..type in" E-85 hp upgrade" and the article will come up...if you want more links about it then email me...I have read ZERO credible evidence that 93 octane ups the hp of an ecoboost..their is no evidence that backs that up...thank you for your time
