Torque is your ET, top end HP is your MPH.
Along with 100,000.00 dollar transmissions

So if torque is ET those 5.0's must make a lot of it, considering how much quicker most of them are in 60' and 330' compared to the others.

I have a spreadsheet that is jammed with incremental times from a couple of races with all competitors "good" runs.....if I remember to do it I will post a pic of it when I get home tonight.

Wouldn't that make it more important to get a new 18 combo and the 5.4Lw/4.0L class legal ASAP just in case they close the book?

Ford thinks that the 5.4 is yesterday's newspaper. They don't use it in production vehicles any longer. They are only interested in the 5.0 because that is what they are selling and making money on. Sad but true.

Yes, same as the Shelby. 5.0 with an overbore.

Both the bore and stroke are increased in the 5.2L Voodoo Shelby engine.
