I hear ya,mine is in the shop now getting pistons,rods,and JDM engineering super stock cams,so i can try them 7500+ RPM shifts.lol. Yep.. just like OP.
The rods on this motor and the condor are a joke in factory form. Ford knew it too, which is why the dash doesnt allow 7000rpm "red line" until the car is fully warmed up.
Because of these shitty rods, the bottom end is weak and to add insult to injury, the motor is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced. OP, you just made a $20k+ mistake im afraid.
Smart way to be a high power 07-14 gt500 owner is to replace rods immediately. Factory pistons are forged and very strong... leave them alone. Spend a thousand bucks on quality rods, pull motor, install them enjoy 7500+ rpm shifts and done.
Dont chance it.
