When I tested them all side by side the 5.0l lost speed while going up a hill until it decided to down shift and take off.

If I was mistaken then I'm sorry to Big Dan also. I also read a test in edmunds claiming that is was set up for E85. I guess we all already know how accurate their reporting is though.
No worries

5.0L is in Gold with the Ecoboost in blue
