But BC the magazines got fully loaded mustangs for reviews, they came in on the heavy side at over 3800 pounds. For some reason everyone wants to use the 3800 pound weight Quote:
Agreed, but the 1LE is lighter than a 1SS apparently. |

17% for DI alone? Maybe in certain cases. But not likely. It is a nice bump, BUT if it was so easy everyone would just do it wouldn't they? Yes, it's a 200 psi fuel system and there is cost, but if it were a simple 17%, the Coyote would already have it. In fact, just put the DI engine in the 350R and call it a day.

I thought I read 17%. Here is a link to the article anyway. http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/engine/...ect-injection/ |

"Ford’s fuel-metering expert Scott A. Lehto says the ’10 Focus was “rated at 140 hp and 136 lb-ft at 10:1 compression. Our ’13 DI Focus 2.0L has 160 hp and 146 lb-ft running at 12:1 compression on 87-octane gas.” That’s a 14 and 7 percent gain in power and torque, respectively."

I think the 3.6 DI LLT is almost the same as the 3.6 non DI LY7. I think there is almost a 50HP difference. However I think it greatly depends on the engine and how efficient it was to begin with. The Coyote gaining over 50 HP with DI and no other changes is way overly optimistic. I do think when GM finally taps out the LT1 it will be at around 480HP. Tune only results from the LT1 tell me GM went pretty conservative for future power bumps.

I think some people forget that along with more power from di you also are able to run a lower grade gas "with higher compression vs reg. Injection" which saves a few bucks.

DI by itself won't add 30hp/30tq to the 5.0, keep dreaming. Just like the dreams of a 2-300lb lighter Mustang it just won't happen. 10-15hp and 30tq, sure. Or 30hp, 10-15tq.
Obviously they may make other changes as well. DI will also add about...30-40lbs? |

I honestly think it would be a huge waste of potential if Ford added DI to the current engine and made no changes to cams, valves, pistons ect. They are going to want more compression minimum and that likely means new pistons. I think your probably correct in that it won't add as much torque as it does HP. I don't think DI by itself adds that much weight from the new fuel components but could be wrong. If your basing that on the LT1 its because of DI AND VVT/AFM.
