Also, I am sad to see that Ford did nothing to improve the 5.0 Coyote, the air intake box alone could have been redesigned to flow over 800 CFM and a revised tune could have easily made the engine about 15-20 more BHP powerful.

The Coyote for '11, even as massively powerful as it is to the '10 4.6L, was purposefully hobbled by Ford so there would be room to grow. Ford could have sacrificed some of that growing room for a competitive edge and it would not have cost as much to do it either.
Just 10 more BHP at the crank and the Coyote is already just 4 BHP shy of the Camaros of the trim levels the GT and GT Premiums are competing against.
