More power through most of the rpm range with essentially the same peak hp output just at lower rpm. So 2 valves per cylinder vs 4 valves per cylinder. No VVT vs VVT. Essentially the same fuel economy from an extra 1.2L and the motor is slightly lighter than the coyote.
Pretty much identical results achieved by LG motorsports to have a different data point:
When it comes to motors I think the LS3 still takes it, but I think the mustang platform is better. It was built for the mustang instead of using a full size sedan platform.  |
Spot on brother.. I'm impressed.
The really fun thing is what will happen in the future when camaro moves to an ats platform (still a sedan but much smaller) and the mustang to an IRS.
Not to mention the gen V chevy SB that should come with the new camaro with supposed cam changes and possibly more control over intake and exhaust valves independently.
Can't wait to see how it all pans out.
