Speedhunters shows us the potential of Fords Ecoboost 2.3 under the hood of the mustang. Mild performance upgrades net significant gains in torque specifically!!
ah, can always depend on speedhunters for something like this.
power increase below was great! it helps that they did a base line dyno run:

First off we put my car on the dyno to see exactly what kind of numbers it was making in its current form. If you go back to my last project update, you’ll remember that I took the car to a local Mustang dyno when it was bone stock and it put down 263 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels.
Now keep in mind that this is a different dyno on a different day, but with just the COBB Stage 1 tune and cat-back, the car threw down 267 horsepower – and more importantly 337 pound-feet of torque – at its peak. That’s a serious jump in torque with just an ECU flash and exhaust, and our day was just beginning.
