[QUOTE="kcsvt94l, post: 14396304, member: 52268"] good luck getting the stock "Coated" pistons to handle 1,000 hp. I think it's ludicrous that they've put a forged crank in the 11-14, forged rods and a "beefed" up block I guess, this is the 1st i've heard of it, in the '15. Yet haven't fully forged the pistons. Call me stupid but this cartoon'ish picture doesn't show much detail that jumps out to me as miraculously being an improvement over the existing block itself which multiple people have made 1k hp on, it's when you set your sights on 1200+ that you need to look at sleeving. So if this pictured block is really stronger? and they ship with coated pistons, someone outta be fired for investing money into a block that already had the capability of supporting over 1000 WHP but pistons that melt at 650+ I'm happy you're excited for your new car. personally I can't get into the looks of the '15 base 5.0 maybe the GT350 is a different story, The last mustang that had IRS that made over 350 HP couldn't keep stock half shafts together to save its life. So, until I see otherwise the '15 is a no go for me. Can't wait to actually see numbers & results though! [/QUOTE]
