[QUOTE="dajohu, post: 8269229, member: 86007"] I always thought the rule of thumb was that you can usually get about 100hp per liter going the N/A route. I am no expert and I know every engine is a little different. That is why I was hoping I could maybe squeeze 500hp (at the crank) out of a 5.4l without replacing every engine part. I know the 6.2 is a little bigger and little more powerful - in reality it’s .8l larger and about 80hp and 40 tq. Is that small gain worth waiting another 6 months for if you don’t plan on making a 750hp monster? That is the question I am trying to answer for myself. I want a nice, mean, off-roadable, daily driver. I don’t need competition worthy HP numbers or anything like that. Large engines (by themselves) do not impress me anymore, I’ve owned several 8.0l engines and while they were great and reliable, stock they put out less hp than my little 4.6 does and got about half the MPG.
