That's what the overboost "feature" is for.

You might be right. But thinking of this as an "old" S197 with a 15hp/10tq boost is looking at it all wrong. Even with this modest increase in the 5.0's output, it may/most likely will do better in most competitive measures vs S197.

Another point to remember that this gen1.5 Coyote is only 9hp down from the Roadruner but 20tq up...at a lower redline rpm at that.
