With 412
horsepower from 5.0 liters, the 2011 GT engine was already an incredible
performer. But to achieve the high-rpm horsepower that would make the engine
competitive on the track, a new intake was essential. Helping the intake build power, revised camshafts using a more aggressive grind
are actuated with the same twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT)
mechanism used on the Mustang GT. More aggressive control calibration yields 440
horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, while still offering a smooth idle and
low-end torque for comfortable around-town driving.
