Power bump of 5.0??

[Bullitt3478]

Thought I read 420hp 396 tq. It was in one of the release press ads on the 5th but don't remember which one

According one of the guys American Muscle interviewed (check their site for the vid) the rev limiter stays the same.

Official numbers have not been released yet. Note the changes below. They are all "productionized" revisions that are reminiscent of the BOSS 302 package. Let's not forget the BOSS 302 engine was certified for 50 state sale at near 450 hp. The R&D intothat engine would not be wasted if they go forward with these changes.

Listen to this video starting at about 4:40

This explains the mid lock phasing fyi

Nice find on the engine diagram!

I'm betting the CMCV plates will make a pretty noticeable difference.

 

[s8v4o]

I'm betting on 450HP for 2015 and another bump to 475 in 2017 (or whenever the 5.0 finally gets direct injection).

Add Boost and GO

My take away from the pictures talking about the changes to the 5.0 was expect Boss level power. 440-450 hp with maybe a small bump in bottom end torque due to the charge motion control system.

I wonder if Steeda is making these like they did the 3V ones??

I'm sure they will eventually.

I'll just stick with my little'ol 3v for now LOL

Same here. It's paid off and parts are getting cheap. Sure it would be nice to have a 2015 but I'll hold out for a while. If ford wants to tempt me they would put the 3.5L Ecoboost in it.

AMEN!

 

[Nick@JDM]

AMEN!

It would be nice if it has the Boss pistons and rods. Then we are talking. I am liking this mid-lock cam phaser tech also.

Well see what we can dig up at PRI : )

It didn't strike anybody else that their lack of finite numbers was a feeler for them?

If the initial reaction to the mustang was overwhelmingly positive, they would have left the Coyote alone and gotten away with it.

With a negative reaction, they would actually have to live up to the "more power and faster than the previous Boss"

Should I just go put on a tin foil hat now?

They could just be waiting to crash the 6G Camaro reveal.

 

[ejschmidt]

Boy I hope so.

I don't think their too worried about the sixth generation Camaro. The Mustang and it's archaic live axle has been kicking its ass for the most part, now we get IRS. Game over. Granted, the Camaro does have respectable and well performing models. Base and SS, no worries by far LOL
