Do some more research before you dog people who are right. As for the I-beams not H-beams in the Shelby's they are good but not as good as the termi forged H-beams.

Proof positive as you can see here in a picture of my stock rod/piston combo out of my Mach 1 when I tore it down. notice the powdered gt type rods not forged H-beams.

Well thats my bady and is crazy since I found the info on a couple of forms but I guess they were smoking crack and that is kind of disapointing though they should have at least given the Mach1 partial forged internals.

I don't think the Gt500's use Mahle Piston's I know they're forged but I don't believe they are Mahle, I know the connecting rods are weak and have been hearing they are in fact powdered forged rods.

The Ford GT's have Mahle Piston's along with Manley I-beams if I am not mistaken and a little more aggressive cam's that give it that extra 50 hp. and the Boost is at like 12-13 psi stock.
