if you call this engine a performance shortage, and ford's hemiroid, then what would you call the last 5.4 which was named the worlds best engine for several years running???

just because all the dodge guys are passionatly in love with their precious hemi, which in theory should easily out power the ford for sake of displacement, 2 plugs per cylinder, and the hemishperical chamber, doesnt mean that ford has to match all thier numbers. ford has been building the best truck the longest out of all the three. what they have been building has obviously been getting the work done..... maybe in a couple years, ford will build a high performance motor that belongs in a car, and put it in a truck so you dodge guys will be happy... but for now, ford is making an awesome product!!!

that is my .02
