That's my point. The 352 was a '10 option and its equivalent is basically the 363 rated at 330hp. A 45 hp hit for '13. The 428 I believe was at 383 and now the 427 is at 425, a 42 hp hit for '13. I don't know if NHRA is behind this or if its Ford. I'll be honest. I cancelled my '13 BIW Competition Kit when I found out that the 5.0 N/A was going to be rated at 350 hp. That is the most N/A hp/cube engine I can find in the guide. After I heard that I was just going to make it a '10-'12 car and build a 352 or 428 but I didn't know if how much body panels I would had to change out to make a '13 a '10-'12. That's when I said the heck with it.
