Those big 4.22" bores and the guy who did the Coyote heads also did these wedge heads.
That's the key, the engine is almost making peak torque while operating in stoich AFR. Most other engines would drop into open loop mode and AFR's drop into low 12's to high 11's (or richer depending on TPS) in order to develop peak torque, and have the fuel consumption penalty.
