Also delayed is the much-ballyhooed "Boss" 6.2-liter V8 (known earlier by the code name "Hurricane"). The big 425-hp gasoline V8, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and earmarked especially for commercial users, has been pushed back until model-year 2011, according to suppliers. The engine is expected to employ such advanced technology as twin turbochargers, direct injection and cylinder deactivation, to provide the optimum combination of performance and fuel economy.

Not vey much power considering it has twin turbos and 6.2lt. Many current Boss owners are getting that with just Edit and zorst.
Tell Sutty and Saleen that

425 horsepower = 317 kilowatts.
Remember they would be talking flywheel kw, not rear wheel kw so it wouldn't take much to go from 290 to 317.
f*ck the kw's imagine the Torque!

it says the engine is EXPECTED to employ such advanced technology as twin turbochargers, direct injection and cylinder deactivation, not that it does.
This engine should be more competitive with the GM engines, ol' school big bore short stroke. new school overhead cams, two sparkplugs per cylinder.
They rekon it'll have two valves per cylinder first up, but plan for 4 in the future, as well as those other new school goodies mentioned in the first post.
ps There was a rumour that the 2009 mustang would have a destroked 5.8 litre version, though sounds like that wont happen now.
