Coyote Tq ?

[OK2013GT]

New to the 5.0 world. The last Mustang I had was a 2001 Cobra, that I traded on a truck 3.5 yrs ago. Anyway, is there a reason the Coyote has more HP than TQ? It seems like most of the time the HP and TQ are pretty even, however, in the 5.0 there seems to be a pretty big gap.

It has everything to do with RPM. The way the engine setup they spin high RPMs HP is just mathematically derived from torque.

Hp= torque*rpm/5252

Makes sense, my 01 Cobra was like that, liked the higher RPMs.

Engine size. Bore and torque are correlated. It's only a 5 liter motor and a very efficient one at that. I think Ford may have gotten some help from their previous acquisition of Jaguar.

I know, I keep telling my wife Ford got it right with the Coyote.
