Nothing more than a tune unleashes another 25 - 30 HP. Headers puts you well over 500.

So in the end we get an engine with a crap ton of low end torque, with a nice top end capable of 500+ HP with a few basic mods. What more do you want?
You can get 500 crank hp right now from a coyote with a CJ intake, headers, tune, tb, x pipe cat delete, and a few other boltons (over 500 with phase 3 cams). Its that easy. If the mustang weighed a much as a c7, this would really show of these awesome motors.
