[QUOTE="WP64, post: 9253580, member: 75984"] I get your point, but the current top-shelf Mustang, the GT500, doesn't use H-Beam forged rods and it will support 750, even 810 hp as long as it's not reved over 6500 rpm, that's a 50-60% increase over the GT500's typical stock BHP. It sounds to me like your expecting the Coyote motor to be at it's top development stange right out of the gate and neglecting the fact that it's going into a GT Mustang, not a SVT branded Mustang. Ask yourself this question, was the 4.6 at it's performance pinnicle when it was introduced or did it get better with time? To assume that the Coyote's rods are the same as the 4.6 3-valve rods is an inaccurate assumption. This is from the 5.0 Magazine article: "[I]It's worth noting that while the Coyote rod shares its big-and small-end diameters plus it's center-to-center length with the 4.6 rod, the Coyote rod has been redesigned to more evenly distribute bearing loads and is definitely an improved piece[/I]." Have you ever considered that maybe Ford uses powder forged rods purposely to keep the public from cranking these motors to crazy levels of HP on a stock short block? I think this is the case with the GT500 motor, look what happened when they put Manley rods in the Terminator motor, guys were modding the stock long block to 1000+hp; I think this is one of the reasons why the H-Beam rods didn't make it into the GT500 motor, price consideration being another.
