Hmm, when I talked to the guys at rousch at pri, they said that they were going to run the Daytona prototype at about 500-550 hp (current 5.0 power level) and that in their testing, they were running billet rods and dual hpfp. I don't doubt Geno one bit, but its interesting to hear all the stories. One thing they did say, was the DI was a big contributor to the durability of the motor, in that there is MUCH more control over when/ how they can control cylinder pressures. I also thought that they said the DP car was still twin turbo.
I would hope an 800hp EB hits low 10's as 650hp blown 5.0s are in the 10's and they are only about 500 lbs lighter. The only concern I would have is the torque curve has to be shifted higher to get those numbers, which would detract from it usability as a truck, but who are we kidding, at that power level, no ones REALY using it as a truck anymore...... Going to be sweet seeing what happens from here on out for sure!

I was under a pinky swear order until it was released to the public now that it's out I can say that someone I know personally watched this motor on a engine dyno make 780+ hp under full throttle full boost under load non stop for 24 hours!!! And they still had room to grow!!
Hint some one here made the manifolds for the turbos
Now that it's out I can say with out a doubt that by the end of 2013 we will see a truck with 800 hp Eco running 11s
