I mean, since you're making it sound like the 5 liter DOHC has unlimited potential while the LT1 is at it's max output. That extra 5 or 10 HP in the Coyote must really mean they're just worlds ahead. So since you're the engineering expert here, tell us what Ford is going to do and just how bad GM is struggling to keep up.

Im talking DOHC. Not the Coyote. The Coyote has little more than the Bullitt 5.0L. The Coyote is limited in bore size. Intake, cam specs, VVT/tune and exhaust are about it for THAT engine. Compression is pretty much there. I can say that Ford tends to leave a lot on the table as far as tune (spark/AFR) but are probably getting close in the Bullitt.
Max LT1 6.2L NA vs max Coyote Gen3 5.0L NA (both OEM offerings), the Coyote likely has the slight edge, but are close.
