Still don't get it, I thought it was already far superior to anything out there in every way?
Why would that need an upgrade?

The more folks learn about this engine the more they will realize that it really doesn't warrant comparison to the Mod motor it will be replacing, it is a far superior design.

As for the argument of how much is left in the engine and how easy it will be to access that extra potential? The 5.0L is very capable and there absolutely is a lot left in the design, some of that will be relatively easy and inexpensive to access and some of it wont. This engine will respond to bolt-ons much better than the Mod motors did, but past a point finding more horsepower will become more expensive than it is in an LS3 outside of going with a power adder.

but but how will it handle FI lol

So neither one is more effiicent, obvioulsy the 426hp car will gain more HP (426+25%=532HP vs. (350+25%=437HP). So don't expect the 5.0L V8 to all of the sudden respond poorly to mods because it its bigger and better.

On top of the new engine the Mustang is lighter and I don't see the weight changing too much, they just refreshed the car this year. Look, I don't like the looks of the new Mustang at all and they have always been a joke without seriuos mods or FI, but this 2011 Mustang is the real deal.

This post is full of FAIL and
Stock 350hp 4.6 v8?? what mustang have that motor.
I have never seen a 4.6 mod motor make 437hp without Force Induction, Your entire post is false and uninformed.

You can buy a 4.6 from ford with 350hp out of the box...

And that is one of the benifits of OHV over OHC, you can get huge amounts of additional power out of them without spending rediculous money if your criteria is to remain Naturaly asperated. You can significant get more power out of an OHC engine and keep it N.A. but the cost does not warrent it, Thus Ford fans Have chose to go the F.I. route. And thats completely logical, But I am sorry going from a comprestion of 9.9 (4.6 mod motor) to presumeably to 11.0 (coyote) makes the coyote less blower friendly and harder to avoid issues such as detonation.

It's an observation on what people do with arguments of any sort sometimes, when they stop comparing any item stock for stock... they move on to "but how will it" ...
I don't see how that caused you to become "lost"

That is not the stock GT engine. Also what sense would it make for a customer to by a Track pack $35,000 315hp GT, then spend $6000 on a 350 hp 4.6 v8, instead of buying a blower. That does not make sense.

It doesn't make any sense.. when did I say to buy one?

it was just an example for the people saying 412hp on a 5.0 is "too much" ford threw a cam in and changed up the tune and got 350 out of a 4.6 so how is a 5.0 with 412 and not tapped out unbelievable?

[Muscle Master]

What if SVT decides to to use the 5.0 as the base engine for there FI setup in the GT500 instead of using the 4.6

Can you say OWN3D !!!!!!!

Nobody said any of that. Less trolling and more reading would help you out a lot.
