Idunno about with just a tune, but I know of one 5.0 that's pushing 500+ WHP NA.

GT500 is going to need another 100hp though. 500hp GT, 650hp GT500 sounds good.

That is where I see it going too. EcoBoost the Coyote, replace the fake conrods with real forged conrods, drop the compression ratio some with dished forged pistons for double digit boosts, and a 650 HP Coyote is very possible.
The block is already beefy enough; the engineers designed it that way. And the heads are also strong enough too for boosting.

Right now, the GT Coyote is shackled by fake forged rods, a very very high compression ratio, and non-forged pistons.

Most aftermarkets tunes are yielding 40-50 whp and 60-70 wtq gain. Not yield as much power from mods? Not really.

Turbo cars have been and always will be the easiest to increase power. Want more power? Dial up the boost!
