I don't see anything that would lead me to believe it's less powerful then the Boss engine. Bigger ports, bigger valves, and bigger cams means more air and more power, the CMV is for more torque at low engine speed. In fact it should be equal to or above considering the current 5.0 GT engine is making closer to 425-430 HP.

Then why have a poll?

Anyway I voted 430-440 just because I think they want to leave room for improvements, so they'll purposely overlook areas they can improve til later models and refreshes. I hope its 450 or higher though. The Mustang Engineer on Leno said "significant" power increase would be announced, so we'll see.

I'll put my bet at ~440 rated HP, and it will be shown on dynos to be closer to 450. Leaves room for another 30-40 with DI and more room for a special edition with higher redline and DI (closer to 500 rated).
Can't wait to take one out for a test drive in the cold to see if it hooks up better and is more stable than my 2014. I'm amazed how it just wants to light up 285 width tires in 4th gear getting on the highway.

Ford's probably is still doing final tuning, tweaking and certifying, so the final power numbers are likely not nailed down yet, so it would be folly to announce specific numbers prematurely at this point only to have to walk them back should they prove wrong. Recall that brouhaha about the 1999 Cobras erroneous power numbers, Ford will never risk touting an inaccurate power number again.
That all said, given the stated hardware specs, I'd guess the HP rating will be close to or even a touch above the Boss's but with a plumper torque curve and rating. I'll guess 450hp/415 torques.

That's the same thing I said about th weight and the valves and cams are from the boss. 302 read the fine print less than 440hp and I has a poll to see what the mustang community thinks as a whole

And to quote u again look at the c7 stingray not a vette fan but they came out of box saying 450hpish. I'm just saying without a boss 302 ish intake or di it's very unlikely they will surpass the boss 302s 444hp
And those charge motion plates can go away as well

Obviously it will make more power. And I think it will weigh less. I have faith in Ford's engineers.

Agreed. I think its still too early. When they do come out, though, don't be surprised if they state it low, and revise it like they did for the Shelby. IIRC that went from 650 to 662 very quickly.
