That insideline dyno is off in the woods. The coyote is a great performing motor, but those are the highest results I have seen for a stock coyote.
It's not the peak torque that I am looking at. It's the entire powerband.

Ya I was saying 50lb/ft at low rpms, peak to peak it's like 25lbft but down low it's easily 50. I was saying the gears on the mustang gt are a bit short in 1st to get it rolling easy.
I don't know how helpful it would be to drop a short rear gear in the ss because unless your on drag radials or a careful driver, it'd probably be counter productive.
I hated my 03 cobra with 4.10's because I would spin or run out of gear. 1st and most of 2nd were useless unless I ran drag radials back when I had 14psi pullies, exhaust, intake and a tune.
Now I run 3.55's on a 28" tire and love it. (25.4" rear tire height before) but I've swapped from the 4.6 to a 5.4 and picked up about 80lb/ft of torque from idle on up
