Not to mention, that the 5.0 will only make that much torque for a small moment during the entire RPM range. It will quicky get there and quickly fall off.

The 7M will take slightly longer to get there, but will then stay up there over half of the RPM range.

With that, I am saying that a 7M pushing 300 ft/lbs of torque will beat a 5.0 V8 pushing the same amount, because the 7M will have more power over the entire range.

For instance, here is my dyno sheet. Unforutanly the guy doing the test, didn't step on the gas until 3,000 RPM. I need to go back and get it from 1,000. Anyway, subract 35% of 400 from 400 and you get 260 . This is rear wheel power running 35 inch tires. With larger injectors, I can run 25 psi which will put me over 500hp and 500 ft/lbs of torque at the crank.
