how much hp can you push out of those with a tuner and some air flow?

My air cooler went out on mine, and I think it's gone again. Same driving habits as last year, I was getting 13 per hundred and now I'm anywhere from 17 to 19 per hundred...glad I'm not paying for my fuel.

12's good but my lifted 350 diesel gets 15.9-17.5 and it's not accurate with my 37's on it but if I go over 110 it is 17-20 per 100, a few field operators are telling me 8-900km on a tank in the Eco boost if you can stay under 110 so I'm leaning towards trading the gf's momvoy in for an f150 as a second vehicle based on that alone
We have a bunch of new ones in our fleet and they all suck, I think the interior is the best part of the truck, the display is nice and has some nice features, the rest should be sold for scrap. Tranny's clunk when they engage (2 actually take a few seconds to engage...), tailgates don't work, visibility sucks, and the mileage is terrible for something that Ford was allegedly claiming 30 MPG on, only way they ever would have achieved that was to roll it down a very long hill with the engine off.
Agree on the mileage thing but remember its 380 ponies and fleet trucks so I'm betting best you'll see is 18-20 l per 100k.
Have no clunk in my tranny but sometimes when you push it it feels like the trans is slipping. Going in on Monday for #1 cyl misfire code and service maybe get them to look at that to.

I agree do a 454 or 460 crap do a 350 to 380 hp and see what milage you get.

That's what mine was doing, pull out to pass on the highway and it feels like the tranny is slipping...its the air cooler, they've been having issues with them, mines had one replaced, and its doing it again, so I may be inline for another one
Thanks good to know

Yeah its funny how after all these years Ford can't design an intercooler that doesn't fill up with water. I wanted to go with ecoboosts for trucks but no thanks. 3 years later and you are still too dumb to figure out how to use engine vacuum to drain it..... But i can do it at home probably while somehow voiding the engine warranty in th process. Pass. The transmissions in the Fords are very much Gms ****ty 6L80 and 6L90E so really I find them to act the same.

My personal truck gets 23 MPG on the highway, 17-19 in the city, with a 390 HP V8 and no hair dryer, so not sure about your comment about building a 350-400 CI motor with 380 HP and comparable mileage, as basically all manufacturers have done just that, Ford just used pressure instead of displacement in the equation.
Boost is nice in these things when its on, but without it they are brutal on fuel, much worse than estimated. I understand your thought process but we are talking 2013 tech to 2013 tech, not 1973 350 carbed tech compared to 2013 EcoBoost tech.
Talked to my neighbor on Saturday. He's convinced his eco or boost gets better mpg between 60 and 80 unloaded. Anything over that and he believes the boost is on. He can't break 15l/100km. He's 74 and definitely isn't running his hard at all.
