Without any other mods the 2011 Mustang 5.0 made 389 at the wheels with the addition of long tube headers.

IIRC adding a tune and other normal bolt-ons those cars are over 500 fwhp already.

I like what Hollywood Hot Rods did with the new 5.0 DOHC for their Raybestos Brakes project.

Hey Skip - I saw that car at SEMA. HHR took all the FI off, modded the valley cover and fabbed up some old school Ford 427 valve covers. Came out pretty nice!

Edit: was that in the video?

You don't even want to know what the HHR Coyote motor cost to make it cool looking like Troy did that one....
