It takes a lot more than three points to define a torque curve. You may be right about the 2 ft lb advantage Ford has at 1000 rpm, the small print in their adds claim they make more at that (and only that) engine speed. I suspect the Hemi makes more at all other engine speeds. Time will tell, tests will be run and rebutals heard.
One thing is clear, this performance shortfall isn't going to sit well with Ford, it's become known as "Ford's
Hemiroid", because it's a pain in their a$$.
. . . a little something I heard, I can't take credit for it.
