ok so according to the LEAK we're getting 720 hp. with all the talk and speculation and broken hearts and disappointment. and as a certified ford tech of 25 yrs, seeing ford history of mass production garbage that we work on everyday. I can see 720 hp being reality. look at all the cobra's, Gt500's cobras had the kellog crank manley pistons but crappy pistons. the Gt500's esp the 13'14's all this exotic hardware and 40.00 a piece rods. then the block was done at about 850 hp due to the PWT flaking off. seems the boss or 15/17 5.0L are the best bang for the buck. honestly the GT350/R are a joke at 70-85k. but lets talk about the predator vs the aluminator, I truly believe that 720 hp is about all your going to see with the PWT block. we have to meet emissions, we have to go 5/60 powertrain warranty. the 15/16 5.0L blocks still use sleeves(though they move around at over 850 hp, then the PWT will want to flake off at over 850 hp also.so you can put all the kryptonite in the block but sooner or later the block will reach its limit. abd I think the 720Hp might be it to still have the war and emissions cert. I don't know how long a boosted 5.2L will last in a Cobra Jet pushing 1000 hp though. I guess the blocks are still PWT or they go full BoZo on the block and get the darton sleeves. guess we will see
