They Coyote has none of those power enhancing tricks, and yet manages to do more with less. That tells me the Ford top end is flowing WAY better than the Jag's.
The JAG is also using DAMBs while the Ford is using a compact version of the Modular's RFFs.
Sorry, but can you elaborate on those acronyms? GDI? DAMB? RFF? I have no idea what they are.
Also, the Coyote engine uses the TiVCT; isn't that like Jaguar's variable intake camshaft, but more advanced since it's also varying timing on exhaust cams as well?
