The problem with that would be what if the rumor turned out to be true. Ford would look like an even bigger ass. I'm still going with my theory that I posted on the first page in that the rumor was leaked so when the final specs are announced that all the Mustang faithfull will be happy that it only gained 100-150lbs rather than 200-300lbs. The 2015 Mustang will be the butt of so many jokes and criticism if it turns out to be the heavier pony car considering the sh!t talk on the Camaro.

New heads are a completely different casting to promote port velocity but they do have larger valves. However I'm pretty sure port volume is not bigger than Roadrunner heads. They are trying to gain low-mid range torque.
No, the cams are only bigger on the intake side. The exhaust side is the same from the specs I have seen.
The main reason I don't think that it will surpass Roadrunner peak power is the intake. It's a long runner intake similar to the old Coyote intake with charge motion control plates. They are WISELY trying to give the car more low-mid range power. They could have easily put a Boss like intake on the car with no charge motion control plates and made 450-460HP but the toque and especially the low-mid range torque would have suffered. Not wise considering the car will most likely gain 100lbs+.
