In the engine design world, specific torque is used as the metric. The 6.2L scales well to the 3v 4.6L, around 70lb-ft per L for both. The current 5.4L is slightly lower. The 5.0L is closer to 80lb-ft per L, about the best for naturally aspirated engines on the market today.

Elephants can fly. Just stating a fact.
Oh wait, me saying it doesn't make it a fact.
99% of gearheads know that drivetrain loss is figured as a percentage. Yeah, you start with an actual 'XX' number, like you stated, but you divide the rwhp and the flywheel hp to determine the percentage of parasitic loss. THAT is a fact. Google it.

"Well, with a bump in the compression ratio, a revised cam profile, new headers, and remapped engine-management system, the new 6.2-liter V-8 is good for a reliable 500 horsepower and 500 pound-feet."

You know what entertains me the most? The majority of those fighting for the 6.2’s “Honor” in all likelihood won’t end up owning one and if they do it won’t be for many years. In the meantime I am the skeptical one and I will most likely be the first person in this thread to have one. He!!, there would already be one in the driveway if the towing capacity was higher. And until then I will be driving a 2010 XLT 4x4 5.4L with a screw blower making 450/450at the tires.
Aint life funny? Or is it sad?
So long

I'm new here. So forgive me. What type of blower did you put on your 5.4L? How did you tune it? I love that idea.

This thread is stupid...obviously the guy who doesnt believe the 6.2 numbers is trying to make himself feel better about his 5.4 investment. Untill you have drivin an f150 with a 6.2 we really dont care what you think. I have drivin several 2011 superdutys in the past week with the 6.2 and i can tell you its no slouch... Feels like a hotrod compared to the 5.4 and to me even feels like it pulls even harder then the v10s did.
