How many horses does the V10 have? The Superduty brochure says 362, the Ford Fleet website says:
<table id="tablegeneral" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr bgcolor="#cccccc"><th colspan="2"> Engine Type - 8th Position </th></tr> <tr><td>VIN Code:</td><td>Y</td></tr> <tr><td>Engine:</td><td>6.8 L </td></tr> <tr><td>Cylinders:</td><td>10 </td></tr> <tr><td>Fuel:</td><td>Gasoline </td></tr> <tr><td>Horsepower:</td><td>305 HORSEPOWER </td></tr> <!-- Section for position 10 --> <tr bgcolor="#cccccc"><th colspan="2"> Model Year - 10th Position </th></tr> <tr><td>VIN Code:</td><td>8</td></tr></tbody></table>Typo?

I believe that the 305 hp is for the 2 valve engines which are still available in the E series and possibly motorhomes. All of the 3 valve engines are for the F series trucks and are 362 hp.
That's obviously not a "correct" dyno chart since torque and HP only cross as 5252RPM. It's more like a graph representation. Still yet, good post Joe.
I believe (maybe incorrectly) that the leftmost graph line is actually 1000RPMs and not 0 thus they cross at ~4000 since peak Trq is 3250rpm...thoughts?
I could be mistaken though...in my interpretation of the data...
But none of this 2v vs 3v stuff should really matter to us X owners, since the 3v was never offered in the Excursion.

Personally, I would rather have the Torqshift over the 3V if I had to choose between the two. Wish they woulda done that.
My experiences towing with the 2V thru the Big Horns and Rockies (~9700' climbs) would say that either would improve things but BOTH would be KILLER.
The 4 speed is 'okay' ... BUT 1st and 2nd are spaced WAY too far apart.
The 3V from what I hear from my buds that have them prefers a slightly lower RPM (3000) as the 'low' spot for power over the 2V (3200)...that makes a big difference when pulling heavy on a steep grade...
BUT I guess the torque shift with the tow/haul mode alone could be more beneficial...all I know is those extra ~22ft-lbs of torque and 52HP would be nice to have sometimes!...so for me it would be a toss up I guess as I see both having advantages...but BOTH together...man that would have been killer in the EX!!!
I'm like Monsta - if I had the choice I'd choose the Torque shift. I think the raw HP/TQ difference between the 2v and 3v are minimal - the HP/TQ 'at the wheels' difference is probably delivered from the Torque Shift tranny.
