2018 Ecoboost
Hey guys. So I am not having much luck of locating dynos of stock 18 ecoboost engines. I know they are similar to the 15-17 ones but possibly some differences.

Given how the A10 is optimized for the gt, I don't think the gearing or shift schedule is vastly different for the ecoboost. Since power seems to fall off in the upper rpm range, when is the best time to be shifting? 5000, 5200, 5500, or let it redline? While I love the A10, it's a great transformation, I don't think it's optimized for the eco like it is for the gt. I am eager to hear your thoughts.

Keep in mind just talking about stock tunes not aftermarket at the moment.

I am thinking that you will be talking to yourself for some time to come .
With this in mind , maybe you should get a Dyno and post up the results so us lowly 6 speed transmission owners may have something to compare and discuss with you .

Shift no later than 5800rpm. Even with the 10spd auto. The stock turbos really aren't doing much above that RPM even with a tune.
