I look at it this way, take the blower off the Terminator, it still makes approx.320 hp from 281 cubes (1.139 hp per C.I.). And the LS1 makes about the same approx. 320 hp from 350 cubes (.914 HP per C.I.). The efficiency of the Ford 4V wins easily. Stretch the math to equalize C.I. and the Ford makes 395.5 hp at 350 C.I.
Ford 4V > LS1
EDIT: the 5.4 4V on the Cobra R made 385 at 330 C.I. which would equal 408.3 hp at 350 cubes. More than enough to slap an LS1 in the face.

that argument can never be settled... they came with what they came.. no reason to take a blower off... thats what they came with.. it would be better to say it would be unfair to take the blower off..
stock, the ls1 isnt that impressive honestly.. its the mod potential of what just a bolt on ls1 can run especially for the power output.. or a cam only ls1, for the power output... there are 350rwhp ls1s running mid 11s NA... i was one of them.. and that was on a 90 degree night with no tune for the intake or gears..
thing is, none of that matters... thats an ENTIRE other debate... which is endless, and stupid.. but hell, so is this one..
