I was meaning more along the lines of the tuning issues on the 6.2 that does not “seem” to be there on the 5.0’s, specifically the ecu not knowing what is happening with the lag in boost and other items mentioned.
Oh it's there, you just don't hear to many Prochargers on 5.0 either, most are doing Whipples and Roush.
I can tell you that the Procharger operates past the limits of the size of the tables written in the Tune, it's a predictive algorithm so the PCM knows what to do next, but if inputs are outside of the table this becomes a problem.
The PCM will try to correct but it may not be the right or good enough prediction.

There's a reason why Ford uses Ecco Boost (twin smaller turbos), rather than one big centrifugal unit.
Look at the Buick Gran National great power but doesn't last long.

The difference in engine design makes the 5.0 handle boosted applications better.
And not to mention thrust and torque management is different between a Mustang and a Raptor.
If the Mustang has an automatic. If it's stick that would make it even better.


Just to correct you it's not called an ECU, we have PCMs (Powertrain Control Modular) both engine and transmission management are bundled together in one unit.

Very true. Weren’t the days of one big single turbo, the days of major turbo lag? The Buicks produced great power, but at the strip they were slow out of the hole and then they eventually took off like a rocket.

Twins are certainly more about instant boost.

Btw, this was my friend and I that weekend as his mom packed up the trunk of their car. He used to take that car and I had my 340 1973 Plymouth Duster and we’d race up the FDR Drive on the east side of Manhattan. Pics don’t lie. I’m on the left with the jewfro

Holy son of Sam days! You two were a rough looking pair. Man days gone by for sure. Back then if you left a car on the highway, it would likely be gone by the time you came back for it. Rough back then.
