The rated 475hp is very conservative also.

The 475hp is an estimate by websites and other places. Ford's own site says "over 450 horsepower and 450 pound feet torque," so beyond 450hp 450ftlbs, no one knows what it makes.

Its simple for Ford to use that setup, the intake is even on the right side for the Falcon unlike most of the previous Mustang engines.
