some of the ls1 tech guy's opinion of the new 2011!

[HEMI LOL]

I agree 100%. I love the competition, and look forward to encounters at the track and on the street. These are fun times for sure...

yes sir!

I love all the fortune telling engineers we have on the site...

Who's the fortune teller?

I think your a little naive for actually thinking the '11 is gonna put down 395rwhp...

I agree - the 5.0 Coyote engine is rated at 395 flywheel horsepower - it might see 355 RWHP. Still, its a sweet upgrade compared to the current 4.6L modular engine that will place the Mustang GT nearly on par with the LS2/3.

Eh?

It's 412. But I agree, I think around 350-360 is what we're going to be seeing at the wheels for bone stock production cars on accurate dynos.

I think the obvious answer here is an S197 with an LSx swap...

the new 6.2 truck motor should be something to watch. the heads flow really well and have monster valves.

and as much as i think love a mustang, ive always thought very highly of the LSx motors. they pwn most mustang motors stock for stock or even modified to modified.

If I recall correctly... Roush is playing with a n/a 800hp 7L version of the new "truck" motor...

I'm going by the initial dyno testing, not making wild guesses like "it won't make that much power" or "mods won't make much power". NO ONE (including myself) knows yet.

See below. You don't even know what the factory RATES it at, yet you can fortell the future dyno results of said engine...

Time will tell. I don't necessarily disagree, it would just seem the early testing shows promise...

Agreed, it's starting to look that way.

looks like those of us that said 350-360whp were dead on.
