[QUOTE="tmhutch, post: 9755647, member: 4434"] Yep, supposedly 30 hp from LT's and O/R pipe is being achieved by both Evolution and ARH. Big claims being made about tuning as well. Figure around 15. Wont be long before the aftermarket has 10 different short runner intake manifolds available. Figure a good 20hp from that. The GT is a much better platform to start from but ultimately we can still be very competitive against this engine. Anybody can put a set of cams in their full bolt on 4.6 and produce the same power this engine produces in stock form (365'ish). Add a short runner and we have a serious leg up. We also have a 250 pound weigh advantage. Every little bit helps against this animal. When we start talking about engine builds and the potential of each engine the score gets even closer. The 5.0 has better heads but it cannot accept a stroker crank. It is limited to 302 cubic inches so we have a cubic inch advantage too. It is already close to a fully optimized camshaft so they wont experience huge gains there (in theory). A sullivan or custom short runner, big cams, ported GT heads (much more plentiful now) and 330 cubic inches will create real problems for the most aggressively built 5.0. Big bore (360 cubic inches) GT blocks will become more affordable as well. These things will be everywhere and every motor head that owns one will be underestimating the old modular crowd. Should make for some good competition. [/QUOTE]
