[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 14610854, member: 68944"] I'd actually say getting about 75-100whp from full exhaust, bolt ons and tune shouldn't be too hard. A few things that lead me to think so: The Ferrari 458 Italia's 4.5L v8 makes 563hp stock, 480whp+, and that's considerably high like 125hp/L. The voodoo is relatively plebeian at 100-105hp/L (expected). No it's not as capable or cammed as a 458's. It's also not as optimized though. There's plenty of room to grow. The nearly maxed out 597hp 4.5L stradale actually picks up over 50whp from equal length headers, full exhaust and a tune. That's 133hp/L picking another 50whp... Just nuts. Fpc's have about 15-20% more power potential vs cpc's. If cpc 12 boss 5.0's are making 500-530whp cammed and full bolt on/tune, and 470whp (stock cams), I'm expecting the 5.2 to love na mods as well. If a boss roadrunner can make 535-600 engine hp na built up, I'm expecting, the fpc to make upto about 700hp na, ~625whp. That's cammed and so on, but even full bolt ons/tune, I won't be surprised if 550whp happens. Best part is taking an fpc from 8300 to 9200rpms has much bigger gains /L vs a cpc because of the flow supporting design. Less restriction means more power production /L, and that should be great-plus the sound will be epic. If they can get 3550-3600lbs factory weight, I'd imagine one with full bolt ons/headers back, custom lighter race wheels, and a few suspension tweaks could too the scales at 3450lbs. With 550whp it'd be an absolute blast, and cammed at 600+whp with 3.90's or more, it would be incredible. An sc shouldn't be necessary. There are plenty of other mustangs for boost duty IMO. If boost is desired, build a rotating assembly for 8500rpms tops, cam it for boost, and build a kit. Everybody wins, just that boost builders will have to build a rotating assembly this time around. A drop in the bucket compared to the base price and price of building an fi system sc or turbo. [/QUOTE]
