I think anyone hoping to see it tuned to 400+hp out the door will be a little disappointed. I expect to see it in the 340-360 range.
My reasoning? Think about it for a second. This engine is gonna go along side the 6.2 in the raptor. And thats tuned to 400hp/400tq. Why offer 2 engines with roughly the same performance, only one costs a premium. Unless they're gonna offer a different cam/heads in the raptor to make the hp lower, which I don't see them doing thanks to economic reasons, the 5.0 stang and 5.0 f150s will probably have about the same power output. Just my 2 cents worth of speculation.

The Coyote were talking:
-2 more cam shafts
-8 more valves
-increased compression ratio
-increased displacement by at least 19+ C.I.(In order to be a true 5.0L)
-newer tuning and refining technology
400hp/400tq would be simple to achieve with those additions.
The Raptor engine doe's make me confused though...Perhaps it has a badass torque curve made for trucks, but not as great top end as the Coyote? Hmm

The current 4.6L 3v makes 315 HP.

Ehh...I'm not sure. I know they did that in the past with high horsepower cars, but I'd assume insurance companies would smart up to that and give them the same rates.

No matter what the HP, you can bet there is a lot of R&D going on at Roush
Performance testing etc. I would think that Roush Performance has been involved all along. Since it is a new motor it will require a ton of new performance parts.
