How Many miles on your 5.0?

Your mileage after adding boost encourages me. Are you still running stock pistons and rods? I plan on adding boost late this summer since my wife is getting me a supercharger for my 50th this August. I'm leaning towards a procharger...I like the i1 with the cockpit-adjustable boost. The only thing I don't care for in that setup is the air filter location that doesn't take advantage of the cold air inlet. Perhaps the intercooler helps.

Yes still running stock internals. I'm not increasing the HP anymore it's good were it's at. I travel about 1/2 the year for work and the car is parked but for the weeks I'm in town I put on about 320 miles a week on it. It's my daily driver and is driven year round since I don't live in a cold part of the country. The shop I deal with has a customer with a 2012 Mustang that has a procharger stage II putting 575hp to the wheels and it's very nice!

What stinks is, I probably won't be able to drive her this year till May with all the snow/sand/salt we got.

3400 and no fix yet.
My 2014 GT has had a bad surge in the lower gears at low to medium speeds. I took to dealer and was told they had gotten a bulletin on this problem and had a reflash to try for a fix. Didn't make any difference. Will be taking back again as soon as weather straightens out for another try. Dealer 120 miles away. Condition VERY ANNOYING!

Bought October 2013, 14 miles, now has 5490 miles. Need to drive it more, but cold weather and local road construction makes me not want to get it tore up. Looking forward to Spring weather.

Just passed 75,000 on my daily driven '11 GT - zero motor problems other than a bad water pump replaced under warranty about 50k ago. Still the original belt, hoses, spark plugs, etc.
