as much as it can take and the 5.4 (5.8) from Ford can take way more than the LS3.

Sure you can juice any stock engine up to make 1000hp but how many runs before it breaks? What people are saying is, on stock internals, bump both engine up to 700rwhp, Ford's can "safely and reliably" handle the power much better than the LS3.

Why are you comparing a block specifically made by Ford for boost to a N/A chevy block?

Wouldn't a LS9 be a better comparison?

Substantiated by Metallurgical data, empirical data?

about half way through they started talking about the specs and something blew my mind and i double looked and then triple looked, it said that the 650hp beast is running 15 psi?? no way?really? that is crazy numbers imo they were also talking about the zl1 was no match at all for this beast, i think i read on some article somewere that the zl1 was only running 6or7 psi and makeing 580hp. IF ford is really running 15psi imo ford hasent accomplished anything in my book but how to run a lot of boost to get the numbers they want! did gm know this and is that why they done so much to get 580hp on low boost so when the people buy the zl1 a simple pulley change and a tune and byby gt500?

like i said i havent been keeping up with these two cars that much so my facts are not facts they are questions so if im totally off course let me know the real specs

also in the article they were compareing the gt500 to the zr1 vette because it has bigger numbers the zr1 is not just numbers there is a LOT more to the zr1 as everybody knows imo that is a joke more hp or not!!

The Ford is a smaller displacement engine, so they throw more boost at it to make the numbers. A larger displacement engine won't need the same amount of boost. Besides, if you throw 15psi. at an LSA it'll fall apart, that's the reason why the SS guys stroke / forge the bottom end with the best parts available on the aftermarket.

Sure would, too bad they didn't put it in the ZL1.

The trolls are usually weeded out. The guys you see in this thread are here to be members genuinely interested in American performance.
