There are too many factors to consider, weight, gearing, tires, suspension etc. HP means jack shit at the race track, it depends on where the HP comes in, where it peaks and how the car is set up. The biggest problem I see with the 5.0 is it is still an OHC engine and down low it is gonna get beat up by a pushrod engine. I am sure ti will have the same achilles heel the 4.6 and the 5.4 do, you need to turn more RPM to get em going.
