On pump gas?
I'm not saying it's impossible, just really, really, really not an ideal foundation for boost.
I bet it'll take 6-8psi easy.....and really make the most of it!
Hell, the guys in the Mach 1's with the Cobra Eaton top end conversion are running the stock 8psi pulley without breaking a sweat and they're running damn near that same compression ratio?
On pump gas?
Yep. There's a guy on a local board here that has an Eaton swapped Mach with the stock Cobra blower, pulley and everything. The only items on his car that aren't factory Ford from the Mach or Cobra is the exhaust and the CAI, he runs 11's.
does it feel like the advertised 412hp?
cant wait to see how that responds to some boost
Why yes...YES PLEASE!
What are the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times supposed to be?
Jay does work for Ford. He knows lots of people. He's gotten me some smoking deals on items that coworkers were giving away. Car's they'd buy, they didn't like the wheels, they'd buy new stuff, and I'd buy their stock stuff and resell it.
Jay, there is an article about a 2010 which still had the 4.6L (315FWHP) in the MM&FF magazine. With a CAI and tune it made 300RWHP and ran 13.1 in the 1/4.
The new 5.0L is gonna be 100 more HP, so I can't wait to see what that will run.
If I didn't buy the 2004, I'd consider one.
Yea, that and hypereutectic pistons + powdered metal rods. Boost on this engine = fail.
Color me skeptic, at least until Ford comes out with a boost-friendly version of this motor.
That's gotta be the cleanest factory Ford engine bay ever. The engine might actually make up for the gay tail lights. I hope they only do a 2-3 year run with this body style and then tweak it just enough to fix the stupid looking back end.

Honestly if i bought the new 5.0 (someday i'll have one) i'd probably just throw bolt ons at it.. Your standard full exhaust, intake, TB, maybe cams, and a tune should be good for some fun!

Like I said, not impossible, just not ideal. Also consider this engine is 11:1, where the Mach is 10.1:1.
If i remember correctly, i read an article on the development of the new engine by the lead engineers and swore i remember reading that the engine was designed for future boosting potential. Unsure how though.
The engine will actually run on 87 octane....402HP on 87, 412 on premium
Same here. I already really like the 2010 GT but the 400hp/6-speed is icing on the cake.gotta say Im a bit jealous, Ive been really excited about the new 5.0
If there's a "Track Pak" that includes more gear I'd probably just go with that until I got more familiar with the car. I would also add wheels (already have them in mindon these, most people will go cat back and maybe a mid pipe. no need for lt's on these, unless you're going to get real serious. the factory tri-y headers will do just fine

Yea I've read similar stuff. They made it clear, though, that the '11 bottom end was NOT intended to handle boost (that's not to say that nobody will try it). But in the future with different rods and pistons, they plan to go that route. I guess the new block and crank are bomb proof. IIRC, they were saying that the Terminator rods can be used in this engine, and by the sounds of the new GT350, they already are building boost-ready versions of this engine.

From what I've read, not only is the new 5.0L sporting a steel crank, but new “forged powdered metal rods” backed with a new, more stable piston design that's proposed to mist oil onto the underside of the piston in order to greatly reduce hotspots and as a result, chances of detonation.If i remember correctly, i read an article on the development of the new engine by the lead engineers and swore i remember reading that the engine was designed for future boosting potential.

Nice man, I just test drove a 2010 4.6... i want one bad and i want my first new car...bad. should i wait for the 5.0? was it THAT much better? i know itll be better than the 2010, obviously, but the longer i go without buying a new car the more i pound my fox into the ground... so ive been debating to wait or just buy a GT cheap with the rebates (and my dad's A-plan)...
