5.0 vs just the facts please

I got a s550 with a 5.0 the newest 2015 -17 is even better than the s197 2014 5.0 why ?
The intake has the charge motion plates for better low end power. The heads are a cast version of the Boss 302 heads with better ports and and larger valves. The heads also have a modified Boss 302 cams. The pistons are cast with more oil holes and an extra gas groove. The bottom end has Boss 302 rods. All this improvement means an extra 15 hp and the means to handle an extra 100 hp over the 2014 s197.
In just several years (11-14 to 15 -17 )Ford has made great improvements to their engines. Now the 2018 5.0 has been moved forward again showing an extra 40 hp at the crank.
Good work Ford !
