I'm not sure what people are talking about in saying the 5.0 is weak on the low end. I've been reluctant to go flat out in mine until it gets a little more broken in, but even at about 1/2 to 2/3 throttle and 4000RPM, this thing has me pinned about as hard as the 05-09 4.6L did wide open and red-lined, and I have the 3.31 rear.
If you really must have more low end torque and don't mind losing the flexibility of running regular gas, a tune will fix that. The Ford Racing tune adds 60 ft-lbs at 1500 RPM.
