Most of the fails have come from aftermarket tensioners or misaligned blowers. Roush uses an aftermarket tensioner from what ive read. I dont own one so i dont know how true that is.
You may want to read that thread and see how many 5.0's are breaking. Ive seen 3 this week on FB.
You have a link to Gen 1, 5.0's breaking with Roush TVS blowers? That link above was 4.6 SVT's and digging around I could only find threads about prochargers?
gt500's don't have a 4.6 crank, either.
I completely disagree that the 10 speed is a great trans. For daily driving yes, maybe. I have it in my 18' and driving around town it seems like it shifts constantly. Pushing it hard it will overheat very quickly, which I did with mine at Road America. It went into limp mode and completely shut car down, and that was just with the stock 5.0, and only after about 6 minutes on track it was already struggling to find a gear. I'm very curious how well these handle 700 hp.Those autos are pretty great. Car will be a rocket.
What is impossible about it? They build the car with a PP1 pkg, put a Track Mode with Track apps on it, and it says "Track Mode is to be used on track only" and I'm not supposed to drive it on track??? You sound as ridiculous as Ford....I don't think guy is going to try something impossible like race a cheap auto trans car on a road course, also car would be 6AT.
There is some weird anomaly of centri blower's that can create crankshaft front bearing breakage... typ when boost is increased. It might be caused by the typ 70-90 K rpm of the centri blower.

I also overheat my 5r55 in my 2010 with a larger trans pan and 20,500 btu trans cooler, my assumption is the 6 speed would be the same thing.....
And it's not racing, its a HPDE track day....
Do the GT500's come come with the pulley cage?GT500s use a 10 rib belt for the blower
So were the 03/04 Cobras. But they came with the cage. So I was just curious. I like the extra crank support.they don't need that, engine is designed for blower duty... wait didn't I say that already!?!?!
