2015 Shelby GT350 Powertrain

If they specifically mentioned 93, I would expect less with 91.
Numbers are out...526hp 429tq!
Tough crowd. 526 hp NA at $50k has never been done.
Minor exhaust tweak and it'll make just about 550.

Not gonna lie I was hoping for somewhere around 550 hp stock, although it probably easily will by just taking the cats off the car.
The fact that it has to run on 93 to make 526 is also kind of annoying. Here in California 91 is only available. Which probably knocks it down closer to 510/410. And that point a bolt on gt can get to those numbers without much work.
It won't rev to 8250 but it will rev to 7500. I was hoping for something like 550HP @ 8500 RPM and 430 lb ft @4800 rpm for the gt350 stock.

Nice! That thing will be fun for sure! *starts unbolting my 4.6 3v and waits for the crate engine option*
Wonder how many of these parts (bare heads, intake, oil pan and headers) would fit/work with the current 5.0 block?
I don't think much if anything. Entire engine is almost a fresh design from what I've read.
seriously, some people are never happy. I pretty called these numbers.
exhaust, intake and tune is gonna yield nice gains for a NA motor and 8200 redline. I am happy especially for the price, this blows the z28 away as far as bargain.
We shall see.
I'm probably gonna have mine sent straight out to have some exhaust mods and we'll see what the various results are.

21 more HP than the Z/28 but 52 fewer lb ft of torque.

How do you know a tune will yield the same gains it does on the coyote? That's just speculation....also the intake seems to be pretty well made from the factory. Ford could have made their factory tune aggressive considering its a "race variant". The cat removal and accompanying tune upping the redline to 8500 are the only "easy" mods I see to be done to the gt350.

Definitely gonna do E85 also for even bigger gains...
Ford always leaves room on the table tuning wise

Don't think so, its still a street car and has to pass the same durability tests as other production engines.
That's true, but that doesn't mean Ford wouldn't try to maximize performance more out of the GT350 than the standard GT. I'm not saying the gains won't be there, just that I expect they won't be as drastic as on the coyote.
This might be my next car, decently priced with present day ammenities. FINALLY
Can't think of anything at the moment I want to change besides wheels possibly. So we got the power, this might be a stretch, but what about... weight?
