[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 15723085, member: 20202"] 762 hp vs. 840 hp? Start modding both of them and my money is on the Chrysler. I am no fan of the 5.8 Ford took the bore (and stroke) on the Trinity out too far and on top of that had to resort to a linerless block delegating it to the recycle bin in the event you score a cylinder which isn't hard to do in a blown motor. Mihovetz stated he wouldn't recommend taking a 5.8 past 15 psi but runs 50 on his mod motors. The funny thing is the relative absents of any 1000+ hp fire breathing 5.8 I can't recall ever seeing one with something other than the stock blower. Personally I would be afraid to lay a wench on that engine. Not taking away from the 13/14 GT500, it's that ENGINE! Any effort to hop-up that car would have the 5.8 strapped down on a skid sitting in the corner of the garage and a 5.4 in the engine bay. I want no part of a linerless block in a blown engine! You can add variable timing to the list who needs that on 20 psi at 1500 rpm's? Dollars-to-doughnuts the new GT500 if it ever gets released will be in the same boat just like every Ford performance engine since 2013. Gone are the days some kid with dreams of grandeur, a Cobra and $10,000 can build an 800 hp street car easier than falling off a wet log. Mods these days are pretty much limited to intake and exhaust if even that :( Hot rodders are a dying breed [/QUOTE]
