Will the EcoBoost come in the Raptor early 2011

I love my 5.4. Could the throttle response on the freeway be quicker? ya, but its not a major problem. In town its normal. I have never felt under powered or anything.

Same here. I love my 5.4 as well, I really like it for the fact of using E-85 in it kinda gives it a little more throttle response. At least that's how it feals to me.

The 2011's opened up orders on Sept 3, 2010. I would guess that the 2012's will become available at around the same time this year, but Randy will know before any of us...

It actually does. Thats how you get the 320hp out of the motor. The mpg take a slight hit but the fuel is cheaper at the same time, so it kinda balances out.

It also just feels like it just runs better on the E-85, smoother idle.

I have only filled up once on it so never really payed much attention.

I've done the mixture or just E-85.

Hmm just did that, and strange enough its cheaper for me to run just gas.

 

[IRONMAN]

Really? I did it several times and its always cheaper for me to run the E-85.
