[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16174097, member: 138028"] Yes, I understand Coyote 5.0 and Voodoo 5.2 over achieve on making ponies but nowadays you can crank the wick up on pretty well anything and it will make power. I'm strictly talking factory offerings and durability. I'm sure Ford can make wwwayyy over 700++++ hp if they wanted to on the Predator but they gotta balance that with longevity unless they like spending tons of coin on warranty repairs. All those boosted 5.0's I'm sure make tons of power and run great but if you drive it like you stole it ALL THE TIME something will happen and you'll be spinning wrenches more than you're out there driving it and enjoying it. Even Ford themselves had said (according to Tob above in his post) for the 13/14 they tried to wring out more from the 5.8 but emissions and cat durability became an issue. It will be the same thing for this engine, from the manufacturing standpoint you can only go so far to make sure the package delivers and customers are happy with a product free of problems (as much as possible). What you do with the car afterwards is up to you but you will be dealing with the negative issues when they pop up and not Ford. [/QUOTE]
