V10 Power
I was banging around on the ford web sight and came across this on the 2005 V10 It will have more hp and tq than I had herd. I really like the tq at 3250 rpm.
For pure muscle, look no further than the new 6.8L SOHC 3V Triton® V10 in a Ford Super Duty pickup. Got a massive load to haul? The 6.8L Triton can handle it. After all, it boasts the highest available towing and payload of any gas engine in a full-size pickup in its class (over 8500 lbs. GVWR). Like its kid brother, the 5.4L Triton® V8, the 6.8L V10 features 3 valves per cylinder (2 intake, 1 exhaust) for increased power. The three valves improve efficiency, producing more low-end torque than ever before (you get 80% of your peak torque by 1,000 rpm!).
With the added performance benefits of the available TorqShift® 5-speed automatic transmission, F-Series' brute strength has never been more refined, the driving dynamics and shift quality smoother than ever.
Couple this with an advanced tuned air management system, and you have outstanding load carrying and towing performance.
Ratings are 362 peak hp@4750 (an increase of 17%) and 457 lbs./ft. of torque @ 3250 rpm (up 8%).

Hmmm...thsoe numbers are slightly higher than I've seen elsewhere. Did you say that was on Ford's website?
Cool! The new V10 is a real POWERHOUSE!
I almost got an 02 Excursion today. Think I'll wait for the new V10. Hopefully they'll put the 3V V10 & the Trqshift in the Excursion! Yum!

Huh, those are higher numbers than what Ford originally posted. I don't remember at what RPM each was produced, but initially Ford said 355HP and 455lbs/ft of torque. Higher numbers means all the more reason to buy it I guess!

Let's not forget Ford's new "rating" system for horsepower. New Cobra "rated" at 390 hp, tested at 425 hp (in Muscle Mustangs). I've heard that the current v10 actually dynos at 333 hp and 450 lbs/ft even though it's rated at 310 hp and 425 lbs/ft.

Just an FYI concerning the 80% of peak torque at 1000rpm. This is nothing new-the current V10 already makes 355lb-ft at 1000rpm, which is 83% of it's peak. This is one of the reasons I like this engine so much-it has high peak numbers but still makes plenty of power at low engine speeds.

Guess they're nervous their new engines' low-end torque #s are going to seem pale compared to the new V10!

. Therefore, the V10 should be considered out of the 6.1L Hemi's league, a more direct competitor will be Ford's upcoming 6.2L "Hurricane" V8, to be out late next year.

It would be ridiculous if this were true because Dodge would be making sales over Ford using a 45HP advantage that really isn't there.
But most of us probably new this by our own seat of the pants dynos. Drive a v10 and you can tell it has more power than the HEMI, no dyno needed.

Mine was dynoed last year. He's right, after all the math was done, my supposed 310hp - 425tq 2003 V10 was putting out a shade under 335hp and a a shade over 455# if I recall. I have the sheet somewhere, I may scan and post it. The guys at the shop told me Ford is notorious for being conservative in their ratings. In that case, I wonder what the new "525hp" GT really puts out, I bet it's nudging 600.
