Is this a rhetorical question? I mean, the vast majority of your posts are pretty illogical.

Who said anything about a Blown 6.1L?? Chrysler certainly hasn't. Don't get me wrong, higher displacement is nice, but but a blower goes a long way to easily cover a gap of 0.7L displacement.
Quote: See the reason why I actually make sense is this: the 6.1L already makes 425 horsepower and 420 lb/ft of torque out of the box with absolutely ZERO modifications. That 5.4L comes a little short of that.
Umm, no. The 5.4L installed in the GT500 is rated at 450hp. I may not be the best at math, but the last time I checked, 450hp > 425hp and 450#ft > 420#ft.
Quote: Of course if you could find a single vehicle Ford sells that comes with a 400-something horsepower 5.4L without a blower or mods, I'd like to see it.
How can you classify a factory designed supplied and installed supercharger in the same boat as an aftermarket modification? Are you really that dense? Do you consider the Subaru WRX to come "modded" from the factory? And fwiw, Ford did have a naturally aspirated 5.4L application six years ago that made 385hp off the showroom floor.
Quote: The fact is, the modular V8s are a bunch of pansies without blowers. you heard me right.
Wow, wild accusations and speculation from you? I am so surprised. Need I mention the numerous 320hp 4.6L applications of the modular engine?
Quote: Not so over in the Mopar or GM camp. Just to prove my point, have you taken a gander at the police vehicle comparison tests being conducted as we speak? Yeah look at that, those 4.6L Ford P71s are having trouble keeping pace with the V6 Chargers and Magnums. I'm not even going to talk about how badly the 5.7L Chargers whooped the Crown Vics ass. So please tell me, why are your fabled modular V8s are so magnificent?
Hmm, well, you may have noticed that the Ford CVPI currently uses the lowest output variant of the 4.6L being produced; and it still dramatically outsells the competition to police depts. Ford has discussed the option of offering the 320hp version of the 4.6L 4V in the CVPI, and frankly, the police depts weren't interested (individual officers may have been, but the depts weren't). So, in the end, who is really whooping up on who in the Police Intercepter market?
Quote: Blah. But with a blower, the 5.4L is pretty nice, although certainly not my style of engine.
