How? From the video I have of C.S. talking about the car, he says they "WAY under rated this cars H.P." It will probably be something simalar to the thoughts of the 03-04 cobra. Where the CAI swap alone gives another 20-30 rwhp and the exhuast is probably strained thin again.

HP wise yea I see what you mean, but in NO way it has anything else to compare to the GT. Either way, I'd rock either of them!

They have to under rate it out of the factory for liability reasons. Whipple with a built 5.4, add the CAI, pulley, Exhaust and tune I bet you will push 600 rwhp if not more.

That is what they originally said, BUT that all changed. No Whipple!
Engine: Wet-sumped 5.4L iron block. Static compression ratio is 8.4:1 (same as Ford GT, but vs. 8.5:1 on the ’03 Cobras.) Ford GT crank. Mahle connecting rods which the engineers claim are on par w/ the Manleys in the ‘03s, but less expensive. Heads are directly from the GT, including cams, valves, springs and ports and even have the same part number. Redline is 6,000 rpm and fuel shut off is 6,250. Supercharger: Eaton M122H (H for hybrid…revised 5th-gen blower) Roots-style blower will be used. It has redesigned rotor and port design Eaton currently claims 15% improvement in adiabatic efficiency over the M112(03-04 Cobra).
