We can and will modify these cars from day one and this debate will rage on for years to come. Chevy vs. Ford. Enjoy them both before S-247 tries to take them away...
From Evils post, I just got that the 5.4 comes with a built engine from the factory and you can boost it much higher because of this which will result in bigger HP / TQ ..... You would have to do a lot more to the LS3 to match the HP you can make with stock internals 5.4 engine in the Gt500 ...

I think all of the above would be fact and not speculation ..

I think Evil was also not replying to the OP . he was replying to the post from HOOY that says:

"The GT500 will pale in comparison to a blown LS3... You'll love it. "
