In this Mustang article we explore what helped make the new 2011 5.0L V8 achieve 412 horsepower. To help Ford achieve this magical number they used twin independent variable cam timing, or what Ford calls Ti-VCT. The new Ti-VCT helps make the 5.0L V8 more efficient at all engine speeds with faster response than traditional hydraulic oil-actuated VCT systems. Overall great for drag racing or track racing, you won't find any lag anywhere on the new Mustang V8. Also featured on the Mustang V8 is BorgWarner’s resonance attenuation technology, the timing drive system improves overall engine efficiency. I just can't wait to do my own test drive in the new 2011 V8 Mustang, I bet it's going to be real exciting for me.
