Could Ford be testing Godzilla in a Mustang?

Maybe they're testing different supercharger setups? Heres one from 2011:

Ford is getting ahead of even the electric game.
It's actually a capybara on a large hamster wheel under the hood.
Honda has been working on similar setups but using several smaller rodents, but the single capybara makes much more torque, and is less prone to spinning a rodent (when a hamster trips and falls and spins with the wheel as the other hamsters keep running). The Shelby version is slated to possibly get a miniature pony but most are thinking they'll pick out some of the larger capybara and put them on some steroids as the previous models have been boosted too.

For the record, fingers still crossed for the last run of the Boss 429 Mustangs. All motor drag suspension 10 sod auto made to smash the mostly supercharged /turbocharged versions of the other brands “halo” cars that not that long ago whined like schoolgirls at the advent of the Terminator Cobras, crying foul despite carrying a 48 cubic inch advantage in small block V-8’s for years prior. The irony would be epic…

I guess I was right in a way. It fits really well in there. Too bad Ford would never actually do this for regular production. Slightly more aggressive camshaft, compression, and a better intake could make for a 500+ hp GT that would hardly be stressed, have tons of torque, and plenty of extra potential.

You'll get a 500HP GT in a couple weeks.

Ironic that EPA fuel mileage standards make it a non-starter, even though Ford could make 10,000 and sell them all.

I wonder how drop in friendly that 7.3 really is to any platform. It’s really hard to beat an LS in that aspect.

Someone needs to develop an intake that doesn't point the tb at the sky and it'd be a hell of a lot more drop in friendly.
Well if you watched the video you would have seen almost the last half of it was them talking about and showing an intake in development that does just that.
