On future proofing the Mustang
The new 5.0 looks to be a great step forward for Ford. However, it is not what everyone would want. Since it was built to a price as everything in the Mustang/370Z price range, the rods (powder I think) are seen as not strong enough for supercharging. That is one thing most builders are dissapointed about. I am sure some maker will make a charger at low boost that will run well with 11:1 compression and standard rods but the consensus is that the rods are the weak point of the engine. At 412 Hp it will be enough for some however, many are never safisfied and will want boost. Given that, they may have to redue some internals.
