A 2.3L EcoBoost Mustang with just a good tune will make more TQ to the wheels than a comparable stock (and possibly a tune only) 2015 5.0 Coyote Mustang GT. Anyone disagree?
Depends on how well the stock EB components flow, but i'd be willing to bet the 5.0 will take that one. I really like this twin scroll set up Ford has developed, but we really have no information on the turbo sizing, so its all just guessing at this point.
I have played the 4 cyl turbo game before and know how those tiny turbos make crazy torque so I am not ready to disagree just yet. I think there is going to be a war on the streets with 4 cyl guys picking fights with Coyotes. LOL
op is probably cheating and knows more than hes able to discuss right now
I don't really worry for the Coyotes, I think they'll still be the top dogs. The guys I feel sorry for are the ones with 3V 4.6 GTs. Without a power adder they're probably going to get slaughtered by bolt-on I-4s with half the displacement. I would hate to have bought a 2010 GT new and still be making payments on it.

this, getting slapped with the 5.0 the next year was bad enough..

I think the torque numbers on a well tuned EB4 will best a stock 5.0 but I dont think it will best a 5.0 with a good tune. I think the EB4 will have to add cat deletes to do that.
The weight savings and what should be some cheap power mod opportunities on the EB4 make it pretty damn interesting but slap a turbo or two on a 5.0 and game over.
Be interesting if the 5.0 gets more challenges from a EB4 than any other car. Sibling rivalry.
