Aluminator XS torque rating?
Trying to determine the torque rating for the XS. Seems to require national security clearance because every source I've found just parrots the factory spec of 500 HP but no torque rating. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, makes sense I suppose. I suspected that the XS torque rating wouldn't be much higher than the Aluminator. The odd part is that Ford lists the HP and Torque for the Aluminator but only HP for the XS which seems to carry over to every site out there.
That said either would work for me.

Factoring in a 12% drivetrain loss, that 519hp & 441lbft at the flywheel.
Incredible numbers from a 5.0L engine!

No doubt. It's an amazing performer. Hell, the normal Coyote would be all the engine I would ever need. Given the XS performance I'm surprised that Ford doesn't list a torque rating for the XS. They don't need to be shy about it that's for sure.

2011-2012 Mustang: 412hp, 390 lb-ft.
2013-2014 Mustang: 420hp, 390 lb-ft.
2012-2013 Boss 302: 444 hp, 380 lb-ft.
2011-2015 F-150: 380 hp, 387 lb-ft.
2015-2016 Mustang: 435 hp, 400 lb-ft.
see that? they all have 380-400 lb-ft, though with varying horsepower ratings. like I said, a normally aspirated 5.0 liter engine is going to be capped at about 400 lb-ft. the engines with higher horsepower ratings make that peak torque at a higher RPM. I'd be willing to bet the Aluminator XS still doesn't make more than 390-400 lb-ft but revs higher.

Makes sense, but for fourteen large it would be nice to have the manufacturer throw in a torque rating.
there's really no reason to. Consider all of the variants of the engine:
2011-2012 Mustang: 412hp, 390 lb-ft.
2013-2014 Mustang: 420hp, 390 lb-ft.
2012-2013 Boss 302: 444 hp, 380 lb-ft.
2011-2015 F-150: 380 hp, 387 lb-ft.
2015-2016 Mustang: 435 hp, 400 lb-ft.
