I have an observation about super charging these engines. Upon the introduction of the GT500 in 2007, it had 500 HP from it's 5.4 engine. In some following MY's the HP ratings increased. The 5.4 got to 540 in 2012 and then jumped to 662 with the 5.8 liter engine. The GT350 started at 526 HP in 2015 and it has remained the same through 2020. I got to thinking that maybe this 5.2 was pretty much at the end of it's limit when the Ford engineers introduced it in 2015. It leads me to question how reliable and strong will the 5.2 be if you add significant HP to it. I'm certainly not an engine expert, but it's something I've pondered and makes me a little apprehensive about pushing additional HP on this engine.
