Theoreticaly, (sp?) what should make more power, a h/c/i 302 pushrod motor, or a new 3 valve 4.6 with the same treatment. I'm going to say the 5.0, but the new modular motor may be more effecient-not volumetricaly, but the use of overhead cams and the other features to reduce internal friction and power loss.
A friend has heads cams and intake on an '06 gt, and I'm hoping to out power him with my 5.0. Trickflow intake, 70mm tb, 73mm maf, custom lunati cam, and pro topline 190cc alum heads l/t headers, u/d pullies, etc etc..I got n20 as a backup though. But I was wondering in general, is the 22cid extra displacment enough to make up for the 281's newer 3v/cyl technology?
