Even a 93 tune wakes the car up a lot and gets rid of torque limiting in 1 and 2.
He didnt ask what makes a car more responsive. Or handle better. He asked for more torque. And neither of those make torque.
The Title and content of the OP’s opening post are a bit subjective.
The dyno numbers may not reflect the actual driving experience though.Seeing a few threads on here about the coyote not having enough low end what are people expecting here?
The 5.0l already makes a lot of torque for it's size so I'm not sure what people are expecting to happen here.
This is a light bolton ls3 which is a 6.2l
This is a stock gen 3 coyote for the lower number
This is a stock gen2 coyote
The point here isn't any of the peak numbers look at all of them at 2-3k rpms the coyote only making 20ish tq less at 2k and and around the same tq at 3k as the 6.2l ls3. The coyote is about high end power but why are people expecting/wanting what 7.0l tq or something out of it? The coyote isn't a tq monster or anything but it's not like it's down 100tq down low vs other v8's.
Gearing is a big deal. The 18+ manual gearing stinks.Seeing a few threads on here about the coyote not having enough low end what are people expecting here?

Maybe you shouldn't have bought a "small displacement" DOHC engine.
The perception of speed in the S550 mustang is poor because of the refinement/isolation. There are hundreds/thousands of comments echoing this. I doubt that your 135 is objectively quicker. Once you start doing some light chassis/suspension mods and remove some of that isolation, it feels as fast as it is. My car legit scares me occasionally (in the best way, but still), and it's making just slightly more power than the '18 stock.
That is probably true. On paper the GT should be a few tenths faster 0-60 (I'm at mid 4's with about 340 rwtq in a 3300 lb car). I'll probably still get a GT, jst to have the V8 as a counterpoint to my turbo 6. The main reason I didn't get that one was I didn't love the color (Kona Blue). It was nice to look at for a little while, but not my style (I want grey or black).
I had the exact same experience except I'm coming from a tuned Audi TTS that had all kinds of roll on torque. I got the Ecoboost figuring a decent car with CPO vs the Audi that repair costs were way too scary. After a year I sold stuff off and decided I'll put out the extra 10000 and get a GT. Yeah, I was hoping for much more low end pull. I also ended up not buying one yet because of this. I then drove a stock 05 GT and was SO disappointed with its power. Then a couple months later I saw a Bolt on Tuned 05 GT and figured what the heck. It was tuned by Lito and I was shocked at how much better pull it had over the stock one.
Again, the S550 deosnt make torque down low. It builds power. It’s a high revving motor. Down low - it feels sort of normal like most other cars, especially because it’s a heavy car too. Wrong car for you. Get the F150 intake that’s great - but you’re ruining what makes the car what it is IMO.
Yeah I have come to realize this. Problem is no japan cars interest me at all. Not interested in the Audi stuff anymore. As much as the BMW really does everything very well especially in the mid level M series, I'm just not into the BMW 's for some reason. I wanted to get back to a good ol american car and my first car was an 82 Gt and finally in 15 they made a mustang that was very interesting to me again. Especially the handling, looks and interior and the performance numbers were incredible. So it really came down to the Mustang is really the only car I wanted at this point. Just coming from Turbo cars I'm a bit bummed to not have that pull that FI motors have now. I will admit it is great to scream it out which is something my last cars have not had its just not that feasible that much with traffic and such. I'm hoping one day to get a ride in a decent tuned one and see if that does it for me. Otherwise I will just sit with the ecoboost for a bit and see whats out there in a year or 2. The f150 intake and such to make torque but lose Top end certainly ruins the GT as a Race car but for me would possible make it a perfect street car where short shifting torque can be a lot of fun too. The car really can only see readline in 2 or 3 gears. The next 7 gears will always be in the lower to mid rpm's.
Which S550 have you driven? Auto or manual? I don’t take back anything I said, but a GOOD tune wakes it the hell up. I’ve gotten sideways stomping on it in 2nd gear at 2,000 RPM.
