Hopefully FORD will give us some numbers in Detriot in January.

Easy as pie, IIRC the most powerful factory 5.0 was 245 net hp, before that it was 290hp gross (I'm sure someone will chime in on how the Boss 302 was under-rated, but again these were gross ratings, do the same with the Cobra's 5.0 and I bet it would pick up a bunch as well).

Hopefully I will know how far off my guess is in less than 1 month...

The power boost in 2012 was rumoured to be for the Boss SE. So, GT at 400bhp and Boss at 425+ works for me
