It does have 412, but the lack of torque just cant be forgotton, supercharged is 550 at the wheel with gobbs of tq, these motors love that, and leave the 4:10 rear gear, get ready to hold on. Ford rules.

Merv - Please, continue to enlighten and educate these poor folk on the nuances of not opting to keep the faith.
...and lord please forgive them for they know not what they do!
Only the blue oval can set you free!!!
Those LS infidles, while they had their day in the sun, no longer stand a chance against the wrath of thee Coyotee, nor did they ever against the real wrath of an FE.
Hoooooooowl.....

Disclaimer - reality is engines are all the same... Im just poking the fire. If you really want to talk turkey - the only 2 things that really matter when you go racing is weight & tyres (or "tires" for our mates on the other side)  |

Not me Dimis! As I said, I really like the motor I have (as do we all), but if I was starting all over again at build stage I would going the way the Backdraft one is made. Has the sound, the power and importantly for me, the heritage.

Some fiddling on the dyno but nothing extreme. In the Mustang they under rate at 412 flywheel... Then you remove every pollution control etc and let it breathe through side pipes. There you go. Keep in mind this is year 1 for this engine. |
