The Mustang 5.0 Engine
I have always wanted to know how much power different compressions make for the 5.0 . Like what is the real difference in power from different compressions ? For example say a bone stock 5.0 with 225 hp, instead of 9.1 it has 10.1 and 11.1, 12.1 ,etc etc what is the real difference in horsepower? I have heard its not a lot only 5-10 and I have heard as much as 40 +

I hope to god that nobody would take the time to bump compression up to (anything above stock) and still use stock heads, intake, cam... 
Kinda wish I had just gone N/A with 10:1 cr though, would have been plenty of power and a lot cheaper.
