500hp/700lb/ft from gas/ethanol direct injection TT 5.0L 4v is pretty sick eh?

So as soon as they produce a turbo for our Jeeps, they can start on an Ethenol injection system for the Jeep. Can't wait!

I don't think ChryCo has any plans to DI the Hemi series of engines. The example in the story above is a TT 5.0L 4v Ford. The N/A version of this motor (non DI) will make 400hp/360tq in the 2011 Mustang GT on 87 octane. With DI and premium fuel it should easily make 440hp N/A.
