Was hoping for a bump in power with all the "upgrades" mentioned. Change to the intake, heads and cams but still 420 horse?

Upgrades for the V-8 engine include larger intake valves, larger exhaust valves, revised intake camshafts, revised exhaust camshafts, stiffer valve springs, new cylinder-head casting, sinter forged connecting rods, redesigned piston tops, and rebalanced forged crankshaft. The end result generates 420 horsepower and 396 lb-ft of torque.
The new intake manifold features charge motion control valves to partially close off the port flow when maintaining lower engine speeds. Air charge tumble and swirl increases improved air-fuel mixing by better fuel economy, idle stability, and lower emissions.
Weight was dropped from the automatic transmission with a freshly-redesigned case with cast-in-ribs, which also adds stiffness. Clutches have been improved internally with operating temperature increased to lower friction.

Why in the world does Ford keep bringing out a new car and chassis with the previous power train basically, for the first year and then change it out? it's almost like ripping off all the people that get excited about the car and goes and buys it as soon as it comes out LMAO
not a fan, glad I got a 2014
Whenever something new comes along, it always takes some getting used to. I personally like the way it looks and look forward to seeing one lowered on a nice set of aftermarket wheels and tires. i'll be interested to see some numbers and driving impressions as well. I also wonder if some of the issues with the last manual tranny have been addressed.
I don't understand how the v6 lost power.
I was expect quite a bit more from the 2.3 ecoboost though. I'm still not sure how the V6 lost power either.
