When I worked for Ford in the 5.0L foxbody heyday it’s seemed that way. For Ford anyways. My friends that didn’t like hammering on their Mustangs were always slower by a lot actually. And those Stangs, and they were like friggin bellybuttons there were so many, loved being hot. The engine temperature hot.

The hotter they got, the harder they seemed to pull. All my friends Stangs back then were like that. Some of my friends in the early days tried different t-stats to cool them down. It didn’t matter. The ones that had the original t-stats just ran harder when they were hot.

As for Dodge, I can’t really comment as I don’t know if their systems work like what I posted. I would imagine so
