Differences between GT & GT350

20k miles of abuse and no issues. Solid engine.

So your engine is stock and you set the rev limit to 8000rpm and push it to 8000rpm regular?

Why did you go to 8000rpm when peak power is reached at 6500rpm? Seems pointless to be revving so high and shortening engine life, unless you have cams and are now making peak power over 7500rpm?

Are you sure, I could swear the tuners here say the limiter kicks in at 7400rpm on the Mustang GT PP?

after the tune which changes the fuel cut off

My PP has aluminum front fenders.

Isn't the hood aluminum too? They've been aluminum for several years.

Until they go boom. Valve springs are usually the issue. The hot setup is to install the Roush valve springs but they aren't cheap. You'll need to call them directly to order as they aren't listed on their website.

Saw two different sources, maybe one was the truck motor, but 7400 rpm seems more likely.

A summary I recently updated:

The hood and the front fenders are aluminum on all S550's.

Yup looks like both fenders and hood on the stock Mustang are aluminum.

Brilliant post!

Notice the GT350 has Tubular sway bars, does anyone know the size of them? Maybe they are the sway bars from the FRPP handling kit but not sure as they might be solid bars, but unconfirmed.

The front splitter comes on all models including the base.

Probably safe to say that there are many more differences than most of us would have guessed.

Yes like underbody aero.

Be nice if in the future the magnetic dampers can be retro fitted to a GT as they seem an awesome bit of kit.

I'd like to see that Liquid Blue color available. It looks amazing in pictures.

The sizes and wall thickness of the sway bars are in the GT350 owners manual supplement.
