    differences between the 3.5 eco-boost and 5.0 tuning

    I just sold my 3.5 eco-boost engine that I was starting to get a good grasp with the torque tuning. My 5.0 will be arriving Saturday and I was curious if it was the same Tuning style or if it was a different style set up. Any insight would be helpful. Thank you.

    Similar in many ways but different in many was well.

    - 5.0 does not limit load based on learned octane, torque limit, or driver demand torque. You can make it do this but most wouldn?t have a reason to.
    - 5.0 is better suited to flex fueling, and can change spark timing as a function of learned ethanol. It can support full e85 with the stock fuel system.
    - gdi tuning works the same
    - Big gains on the 5.0 f-150 can be found by increasing rev limiters and shift points.

    Thanks for the response! I was really fighting with that eco-boost on the flex fuel tunes because of not being able to adjust spark based on ethanol.
