does anyone know if the new 07 shelbys are gonna have forged internals like the 03-04 cobras. If so how much do u think its gonna be able to handle

 

2007 Ford Shelby GT500
Cast-iron block• Piston rings, bearings and aluminum cylinder heads fromthe Ford GT • Cylinder heads use high-flow ports and specially calibrated dual overhead camshafts• Forged connecting rods and forged pistons . . . to handle the extra strain on the lower end of the block

how much it handles. . . vague. . . more than what it has stock just like any motor. . . but more than one w/o a built bottom end most def. . .

i would say about 700 wheel could be daily driven on these new ones . . . 03-04's had 600 wheel daily driven. . . just my .02 though


does that answer your question?

 

Getting that 700 might be a little tough though ( and certainly expensive). Can't increase the crank pulley size because of space issues. The water pump pulley is in the way. Plus the crank pulley is basically in a basket. And can't decrease the blower pulley size without doing a complete snout change on the blower.
Ford might have learned their lesson with the Terminators
