Hi all, new poster here...
I currently drive a 2000 v6 convertible and will be buying a 2014 (GT Premium convertible) as soon as they are available to order. I am curious about the differences in how they are tuned from the factory vs. potential. You could boost the output of a 2000 by 20-25% with simple add-ons (exhaust, CAI) and a custom tune.
How does the 2013, which is basically the 2014, do from the factory compared to potential with simple add-ons?
Thanks,

The 5.0 has been responding to a good custom tune alone on the order of 30-40 RWHP. But to get 20-25% over stock you're probably pushing the limit of "bolt-ons".

The Steeda Ulitmate Induction pack that I am running on my '12 claims to produce 44 more HP @ the crank as well as 52 ft lbs torque. That total would add up to 456 crank HP and 442 likewise on torque. I see no reason Steeda would "lie" or "hedge" numbers and it does fall close to what Nuke posted above. These "new" 5.0's are really resopnding well to tuning now that all of the #8 hype has settled down. The "new" 5.0 in and of itself is a good, solid, strong powerplant. Tuning it refines it better than the 4.6 repsonded to tuning IMHO.

It's not even 2013 yet and you can order a 14.
Maybe next year I'll ask them to start building me my 2025 Mustang... Oh wait!! maybe not.
I might end up with a coffee grinder under the hood by then...
