I told people this would be the case before the car hit the streets. Ford has always made Mustang V8s respond very well to mods, and getting an extra 20+ rwhp with just an intake/tune was very common on the 4.6 3V motors. I figured an even better engine would respond at least as well to mods as their last one, if not better.

I'd bet that 5.0 motor will respond well to a set of aftermarket cams and heads as well. I'll bet guys will be getting at least 480rwhp on the 5.0 motor as well with "basic mods", different heads, and mild cams as well.
