Without those upgrades, you can easily make more power than a STOCK GT500 but will hit the limit of the rods i think.

i think with a good rod/piston the 5.0 has more power potential than the 5.4 in the GT500 and this is why...not only do the heads flow better, but it has a bigger bore, allowing those nice 4v heads to really inhale/exhale. the 5.4 has the same bore as a 4.5 (3.55 inches) and thats whats always held back the mod motor cars. i dont think the 5.4's extra stroke will help it as much as the bigger bore in the 5.0 will...plus ive always been a fan of de-stroking a 5.4 anyway
