Put it this way: If Roush makes 445 hp to the wheels, then it's making more than 500 hp at the crank. Which is Ford GT territory.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to knock your setup. In fact I think it's a killer truck that I'd love to own. It's just Roush's power claim that I'm a bit skeptical of.
How does Roush deal with the fly-by-wire lag? Do they use a direct mechanical route?
