yeah, Ford went all out engineering these things for power, its almost like they added aftermarket headers along with a sweet H-pipe. Only gripe I have about the factory exhaust is the crimps they put in it to get it to clear the cross member and rear axle. And yeah, a few guys are dyno'ing around 390whp and 360wtq, and if you factor in 15% drivetrain loss, its making around 440bhp and 405 ft/lbs, so its not entirely out of the question. Another funny thing is that they seem to pick up another 10whp/ft.lbs after the engine has reached 1500 miles or so.
