The question isn't how much power the engine is capable of making. The question is: how much power is the engine capable of making, reliably, over a period of many years.

You could tune the 3.5L to make 800hp. Sure. But I doubt you'd see it last more than 10k miles without any problems.

Ford is using the same 3.5L EcoBoost block in the Ford GT and have it cranking out 647 hp. Given that this is from the factory, I imagine that Ford engineers are extremely confident that this 600+ output is reliable.

I have a 2018 Expedition & a 2018 F150
Both have the Gen II 3.5LECOBOOST engines
Have the E30 & E50 calibrations for both of them
stock had 330 Wheel hp & 414 wheel torque
With E50 calibration 550 wheel hp & over 600 lb ft wheel torque
Completely stock vehicle except for calibration & E50 ethanol blend
Love it :burnout:
Here is a 5 star dyno chart showing what kind of power increase are possible with 100 Plus octane fuel

550 hp and 600tq are not just e50 and stock everything else. See below, they have mishimoto intercooler, s&b cai, spd turbo adapters and DPs and putting in new HPFP
