Torque sensors to be introduced on all vehicles to allow for real-time measurement on circuit:

The torque sensors will be fitted to the rear axle, to provide a ‘real-world’ measure of torque output at the rear axle, and hence of engine/powertrain performance.

Sounds like a good move!
In any case the supposed issues of the Coyote are thought to be due to the
way it has been detuned by 30hp peak (and elsewhere in the rpm range) down to match the less capable LS engine, thereby introducing unforeseen drivability issues in the process.
Why not run the Coyote unrestricted and allow KRE to do some development to find the missing 30hp (and the rest throughout the rev range) on the LS unit? LS enthusiasts keep saying how 2-valve engines are just plain better after all...
It is said that the 630hp tune of the 5.4L Coyote in MARC car service does
not increase the rebuild intervals in any way and has no effect on durability, so there is no downside to upping the output from 600hp to 630hp.
