S650 Coyote V8: Differences in GT vs Dark Horse

[Marty1000]

Her is one more quote from LMR web site "According to Ed Krenz, the only real difference was that they “ported over the forged connecting rods from the Predator engine”. The 20 or so extra ponies you get over the active-exhaust-equipped GT come from tuning that Ford has done from the factory to give the Dark Horse extra performance."

Another site quote" In addition, the Dark Horse has a few more improvements over the GT. The most powerful non-Shelby Mustang ever gets a uniquely balanced crankshaft and forged piston connecting rods to manage higher cylinder pressures and piston speeds. You also receive a 7,500 RPM redline and stronger camshafts.

Still wondering what "stronger camshafts" means

anyone hear of someone breaking them?

Maybe another or different hardening process? Different steel grade. Never heard of a Coyote cam issue.
