Is putting a 5.0 badge on a v6 wrong?
Not hard to see. If all that gains 57hp then on a v8 it would gain 100 because of more displacement and cylinders. It's nothing new that a small engine with less cylinders gains less then a bigger engine. It's going to take more than a tune, CAI, and a throttle body to make 57hp on a small engine. I doubt even the 5.0 makes that much from just three basic things. Be more realistic about the v6 please.

just in case you need proof here it is. and arguing about the gain is off subject. if the guy re badges a car it is his choice But in my opinion not fact it is wrong but I have seen worse.
Okay if you read the thread complete I said stock V8 not modified and yes it could be close to the numbers I posted. On a V* I know the real numbers. Why you ask. Well Lexi I own a 2012 GTCS. I add those things to it and I gained over 70HP. I had it dynoed out at 416 at the wheels with 395 lbs of torque. With these new re engineered V6s it is possible to get 50 to 60. They are claiming over 50 rwhp on those mods for the V6. add about 15% to the engine to axle ratio and that would put you up near 57 engine hp gain. If you want to prove me wrong do it with facts not assumption. I will listen to facts. or send me 90.00 and I will dyno it and if I a wrong I will send you the 90.00 back. Research before you argue.

LEXI you are talking from assumption. I have lived it so no you can't help me. I do not need bad info so thank you for not helping me. Sorry to everyone on here for this stupid immature argument but I get tired of people who assume the facts with and when they are proven they still stubbornly argue further. I will cease. And good luck in life with that attitude Lexi, You will need it. Sorry if my V6 hurt your feeling. But my V8 would hurt you more. LOL

I lied had to post one more.
Lexi go back and read the entire thread you are putting words in my mouth and are not reading the entire thread. It is people like you with the V8 complex that gives the Mustang owner the bad rep. I used to think like you. But I have been saved by reality that although the 6 is not as fast it is still a very peppy car. I never said mod for mod. you just assumed it from your assumed figures. Your wrong However you slice it. I may also be wrong but I am closer to reality than you are. And yes I said about 57 could be a little less or even a little more.

The new v6 is a lot like a 2JZ. I've seen a turboed auto v6 run high 10s. I've also seen boosted 5.0s run high 10s. Very simple, boost + slicks = high 10s either motor. Pretty crazy. I'd rather have the 5.0 due to man law but they're clearly both very capable power plants. Not really sure about the whole bickering thing. Bolt ons are indeed a different story. The baseline is a whole second apart. Last week I saw a stock 5.0 on factory tires run a 12.72. I haven't seen a v6 even close to that with out serious modifications. Boom.
