Now its safe to say the 2013 will outdo the previous model at the same boost level say at 17lbs respectively but how far is this boost level on the 2013 going to be able to be increased before popping. To me it seems like Ford increased the boost to make power and added a few other goodies like increased displacement and a better blower that made a small difference but the big diff is 6lbs of boost. I could be wrong, we need more info. 
So question, what does a 2010-2012 put down to the tire w/ 15lbs of boost? we can reverse the driveline loss to compare it to the 2013. I`m betting it won`t be far off, that is if we have the stock boost levels correct for the 2013 and the previous model. Now of course the 2013 will make more power due to the bigger engine, better blower, but I bet we will find it won`t be that far off.
So the moral is don`t go out and sell you 2010-2012 GT-500`s just yet...Till we know all the details 
just did a google, GT-500 at 14lbs of boost, previous gen, it does have a Kenny Bell instead of the Eaton, so the Eaton would probably make a little less w/ the added heat but 643rwhp at 14lbs. This new 2013 662fwhp -12%driveline loss=583rwhp... Sounds like they will be pretty close at the same boost level especially if you are running an aftermarket blower on a 2010-2012.

One of the big differences between the 11-12 models is that the 2013 will have a carbon fiber driveshaft...
The weight savings from that will help the drivetrain loss so i don't think the drivetrain loss on the 11-12's will be the same... The 13 should be less.
