With the higher HP and torque, does anyone know if the torque comes in sooner then the current 5.0?

I haven't seen a comparison of the '14 versus the '15 5 liter, but being that's it's used in a truck, they aren't going to make it more peaky, it will just be the same curve, just higher peaks.

That makes sense.

Well... This is good news. Looks like the torque comes in at lower rpm.

Great news. On a related topic, I have never seen a company basically ignore an engine improvement like the 2015 5.0 I haven't seen any hype or marketing of it. All the drive event trucks seem to be turbo 6's. I understand the government CAFE pressure, but this seems interesting to me.

Strangely, one of many reasons I bought a 5.0...

They are phasing it out totally is my bet, stop marketing it this generation and then next gen stop offering it.
