I'd imagine the future GT500 will get the 5.0 with beefier internals and would probably be rated around 600 hp from the factory.

If i'm not mistaken, the Boss is going to have the same beefed up goodies as the standard 5.0 (forged crankshaft, forged powdered rods), but it'll also have the addition of forged pistons, I see this same engine ending up in the GT500. Crazy man, i've been talking back and forth with a few Mustang tuners and they're saying that the 5.0 block w/o forged pistons will handle 700hp, i'll attribute that to the oil squirters keeping the pistons cooler.
