Someone who really is in the know?
Or was it just another sour grapes person trying to come up with a reason why the '05 is no good?
rysstang said:on the comment you made about the pcm having roadblocks to adding power by modifying how is that companies like SCT have the excalibrator to reflash the ecu (adding power) and MMR has that intake kit that also adds a some hp, not to mention such things as exhaust or underdrive pullies as well... I'm unclear as to whether this cars ecu will accept mods or will they not allow for it?
any info is appreciated.

As for the GT, it gets the new 4.6-liter, three-valve-per-cylinder SOHC V-8. The aluminum short-block was pirated wholesale from the '03-04 Mach 1 Mustang. That means cracked powdered metal connecting rods and hypereutectic pistons. Bore and stroke is unchanged.
rysstang said:so basically you're saying that by adding an intake, exhaust, reflash and pullies the ecu is going to go into limp mode? correct me if i'm wrong but I'm sure people have made those mods and not had this happen..

That's hardly junk, and certainly no worse than a 99+ GT as far as durability goes - perhaps a bit better, assuming it has the manual's forged crank and not the auto's cast one. Even if it does have the cast crank (which is lighter, btw), it is still easily capable of handling reasonable power.
The only issue is for those that wish to use forced induction. Hypereutectic pistons are not forgiving when it comes to detonation and/or high boost levels.

They are the same type of rods that all mod motors have had with the exception of the 2003-04 Cobra. They are not as strong as forged rods.Meat496 said:Hey guys,
I was curious about the internals of the 05 gt what exactly is the cracked powdered metal, is this as strong as forged rods? Im not familar with powdered rods. :
