GREAT INFO!
In case some didn't see this in the other post.Also please don't think the bold is me yelling it's just easier to read.Since this seems to be percieved as yelling though i'll refrain.[Q
You'll note two big numbers are missing: horsepower and torque. The reason is simple. Much tuning and dyno work remains before final figures are released, but we can do some semi-educated noodling. It's reasonable, even with modest boost, to gain 25-35-percent more horsepower via a well-calibrated supercharger. Given the new 5.0's estimated 412-horse rating, that multiplier yields a guesstimated range of 515-556 horses.
The 5.0's compression ratio is a high 11.0:1. This suggests that, in order to produce a long-lived engine that Shelby is comfortable emissions-certifying and warranting, boost may need to be set at somewhat conservative levels.
