GREAT INFO!
You'll note two big numbers are missing: horsepower and torque. The reason is simple. Much tuning and dyno work remains before final figures are released, but we can do some semi-educated noodling. It's reasonable, even with modest boost, to gain 25-35-percent more horsepower via a well-calibrated supercharger. Given the new 5.0's estimated 412-horse rating, that multiplier yields a guesstimated range of 515-556 horses.
The 5.0's compression ratio is a high 11.0:1. This suggests that, in order to produce a long-lived engine that Shelby is comfortable emissions-certifying and warranting, boost may need to be set at somewhat conservative levels.
