After looking at photos and reading Fords listed specs:

2010 - 2011 GT Airboxes appear to be identical.

2010 - 2011 GT both have 86mm MAF Tubes

What does this mean? The 2005 Air Box Flowed 550 cfm and the 2010 / 2011 Flows 800 cfm. The 2011 GT will be just as strangled in stock condition (Flow per hp) as the 2005-2009 cars. I see an easy 5+% Power Gain (20 hp +) Of course we will have to have tuning available first.

The more I hear about this engine/car, the more I wonder why anyone would pay $15K more for a GT500. I guess if you've got the money, it doesn't matter.

cause no matter what, a Shelby is a Shelby and there is nothing like that no matter what you do to your GT

With a 2011 GT and a few bolt-ons you have 400 rwhp.

With a 2011 GT500 and a few bolt-ons you have 600 rwhp.

Not to mention the new 140 lb Lighter Aluminum Block and available Dry Sump Oiling in the 2011 GT500.

I thought the 11 GT already dynoed over 400 HP?

412 at the crank. Subtract roughly 12-15% or more for RWHP.

Technically it dynoed 416 bhp. Ford chose to rate it at 412 bhp.

based on motortrend and others, it's closer to 400HP at the wheels, factor in the loss, and you're looking at 430 at the crank.

regardless, it's a bad ***.
