It is BS if you got 35RWHP on a bone stock Coyote with a TUNE ONLY with 91-93 octane. I'm talking bone stock with the ONLY mod being a tune on PUMP GAS 93 octane. Baseline fuel 93 octane as well. Please do show me a same day same dyno of a bone stock 2011+ Mustang GT with the ONLY mod being a tune with 91-93 octane in the tank. Here is arguably the best 2011+ Mustang tuner in the country(AED) results of a PUMP GAS TUNE ONLY on a otherwise bone stock car.
Here is what the new LT1 is doing BONE STOCK with the only mod being a tune on PUMP GAS.

And just so show that its not a fluke.

Anyway, you COMPLETELY missed my point. I was not trying to show what a modded car could do. I was trying to show that GM could EASILY up the power on the LT1 from 460HP to about 480HP if they wanted to. GM usually ups the power on their Vette engines after around 3 model years.
Ford Fans are hoping and praying that a DI Coyote comes to compete with the LT1 but what they should realize is that the LT1 can gain more power also. It would not make sense to do all that R&D, testing, and mfging on the current 5.0 to just lose a ton of money on it and make a DI 5.0 for 2016. I wouldn't expect a DI Coyote until at least the 2017 model year and even then you would think that they would lose money on the old engine.
The Ford Fan boi predictions on the new 5.0 engine are laughable. I saw many 450-480HP predictions. I kept telling them it would not make any more power than a BOSS engine since that was pretty much what it was with a more restrictive intake manifold. Ford probably could have made 450 peak HP and 385 peak torque with this new engine with a different intake manifold but that would have made for a lazy car since the car is gaining more rotational weight and weight in general.
