[QUOTE="merkyworks, post: 16070489, member: 179203"] This is just my option.... 11/12 have lower entry price point and if plan on heavily modding the car than it makes more since go this route. 13/14 are great if your not really looking to mod the car a lot and just want a very powerful car as is. Example you pay more for the 13/14 electronic Bilstein adjustable shocks so if you want to put coilovers on the car it doesn't make since to get a 13/14. From a power standpoint its a little bit of apple to oranges if you compare 07-12 Vs 13-14 motors. 07-12 5.4 -slightly lower compression can tolerate higher boost levels on 93 octane and could make it easier to tune -have to upgrade to a TVS or better but once you do power output is very similar to a 5.8 13-14 5.8 -slightly higher compression can't tolerate higher boost levels on 93 octane as well and can make for harder tuning -already have a TVS but need to port or upgrade the elbow -larger bore helps to unshroud valves more which helps flow potential -better cams (Ford GT) I'm not sure the exact $$ I have spent on my 12 (don't want to know actually lol) but with the mods listed below I'm making 672whp. Now if you compare my mods to [USER=121478]@2011 gtcs[/USER] mods they are not exactly spot on the same but they are pretty darn close and he is making 726whp (funny how we use the same digits just in a different order). So where does the extra 54whp come from, tune? Ford GT cams? more displacement? weather? dyno? So they are close to each other but not exactly the same. [/QUOTE]
