I was thinking all the FR's were the 4.6. Only the CJ got the 5.4? Why only 425ish HP when the GT500 is over 500?
The 2010 Cobra Jet Mustang will feature the same engine configuration as the previous model but with a 25 horsepower bump. In addition to the 425hp 5.4L V8 that comes standard in the CJ, Ford will also offer an optional 475hp upgrade. Production will begin later this year with delivery to racers expected in early 2010.

It will be interesting to see how the NA Cobrajet does. Last I read they were testing two cam sets for the NA engine, one phaser friendly and another with the phasers locked out with aftermarket engine controller or something along those lines. Also take a look at that manifold, thats no 80mm T-body on the front - makes you wonder what other changes they have made with the CJ manifold?
The supercharged 5.0 should be pretty impressive as we have seen from some of the blown coyote and road-runner motors already.

I don't see any prices on the 5.0 CobraJet yet, I would be real interested in that.
Sounds crazy, but I would sell my Boss for a CobraJet, I know there not street legal but I'm more into drag racing ..
Are they saying the 5.0 is gonna be 80s to 90s grand ?

N/A under 500hp. Just depends on vehicle set up. HP is just fun. Strict drag cars are all about set ups.

Still cant ignore physics. I've seen a 4th gen Camaro run 10's with 350 hp and no power adders, it was set up really good but part of that set up included making the car as light as possible.
