I'm aware that they don't use EGR, but the VCT is used by lots of manufacturers to improve power throughout the RPM range. You can compare the output of nearly every Ford engine before and after receiving Ti-VCT and you'll notice substantial power gains in all cases.

Ford has nothing to compare it to!
Bud I have built many 5.0 coyote motors for my customers and always lock out vct same power the entire rpm band. No changes. A 4.6big bore 5.0 with similar cam grinds pushes 9 more HP than a factory 5.0 coyote and some emissions. I locked my vct in my Eco turd no changes. I have seen many cars on the dyno push the same numbers with vct lock out as with it on.

Because you have nothing to argue with you know nothing of real world performance or what these factory offering a actually offer. Yes dont drag this off subject any longer you'll just be proven wrong again and again. Tivct does not do anything in power production.

Per Comp Cams:

Advancing the cam timing builds more low end torque

Retarding cam timing builds high end power.

COMP Cams® - Sorry...

Variable timing takes advantage of both of these phenomenoms by advancing the cam timing at low RPMs and retarding the timing at higher RPMs.

Back on topic please. I'm not sure what TiVCT has to do with the alleged 3.5L induction issues.

I have been on Internet forums for 18 years, on FTE for 8 years, and have a very good record here on the FTE. I always do my best to help people here and believe I have done so over the years--perhaps you should check my feedback ratings or my post count which I believe are not characteristic of a troll. I am most often on the van forum because that's what I own now.

This is a *discussion* forum and that, sir, does not mean that everyone has to be a total fanboy with no skepticism. There is good and bad in all machines. I love Ford trucks and chose a 1978 F100 as my first brand new vehicle in 1978. I have had my E150 since 2003 and have had many other Fords along the way and have recommended them to friends. I hope to have other Fords in my future.

Respectfully,
George
