Nope. Most of the time the way the powerband is carried depends on the part combo. But the most ive seen peak at redline, their redline is 1000+ RPM's higher than your average LSx, thus meaning a peakier powerband.
Peakier, higher reving engines prefer alot of gear. It helps keep you in the meat of your powerband.

my boss peaks at 6300 and carries it to 7800. Well atleast that was before i put the full exhaust on. We will see how the longtubes changed that when i go back.

and then when you consider that the 5.0 has better torque multiplication (gearing) and you can easily see how it at least matches the LS1. It pulls like the LS1 on the low end and then just keeps pulling harder than it after. I used to have an LS1 fbody. it didnt exactly feel like a torque monster either

You can quote people all you want but it doesn't necessarily translate to real world performance. When I had my Mustang, the gears did NOTHING. Nothing at all, in a real world scenario, they did nothing. I'm going by what I know. Unless you have a similar situation where you have another car where you have a dead even race from almost all speeds and it ends the same everytime, and then made a gear swap like I did, its all speculation.
Regardless it's your ride/money but at least acknowledge your comparison is 100% apples to oranges.

You're also trying to compare your results with a 3V mustang that had no requirements or need to stay in the upper part of the power band with a completely different gearbox versus a cammed motor that has had it's torque peak moved to the right on top of being heavier...

Nice curve. I did notice though that you actually have a peakier torque curve then i do. Probably has something to do with the TIVCT. Though my car doesnt make a very high tq number... it comes on low and carries it well. I want to see how running a nice merge collector header with no cats effects the curve. Based off the way it feels... tq had a huge jump. Im anxious to get this thing back to the dyno
