It'll have the Cobra Jet intake cams, Boss exhaust cams, Boss heads with bigger valves (that even the CJ did not get), Boss rotating assembly, and a new intake manifold with IMRC's to better manipulate the airflow from the manifold to the heads. Honestly to expect a gain of only 6hp over that RoadRunner V8 seems to just be a bit of naivety. Remember that the RoadRunner heads are CNC'd so larger valves and a optimized intake.manifold should and very well should hit the 475 number...even before DI is used.

I read that same thing on a Ford forum. The cams are larger than the Coyote motor not the Road Runner. Reading that list and saying 475HP is using "Ricer Math" I still bet they keep it under 450HP. Hell most of their guys were predicting 450HP.
I could be wrong. I'm not worried too much about it though.
