Take the blower off of it what do you have? I guess I'm just to old school. I agree, There is no replacement for displacement!
As far as Ford, I like to play devils advocate with Ford, probably since I own one. But look at my sig and you will see what else I own.

Displacement is Ford's real problem, I agree. However I give them credit for squeezing anywhere from 300-320 bhp and 300-320 ft-lbs of torque from a puny little 281ci engine even when normally aspirated.

To get much beyond that they have had to factory supercharge the motor, but hey at least it is still a V8.
