Its really not, every commercial 1/2 ton pickup now makes approx 450. As someone that has owned over 2 dozen 5.0 mustangs since 1993, a super majority of its snappy performance was due to the EFI set-up, the 5.0 came into its own after its introduction. I have witnessed many 300-350 hp 5.0’s take down cars well outside their league.
