The 390hp 32Valve Supercharged V8 is actually a 4.6l But still what does that matter? The ~5.7l 405hp found in the Corvette still makes more power with the old pushrod activated 16Valves normally asperated and gets better gas mileage. IE The fancy valvetrain didn't really buy them much. I say add 8psi of boost to the Z06 Corvette motor then we'll talk horsepower war.
I mean really, the GM designed/Mercury marine built LT5 motor in the ZR-1 vette of 1990 had 385hp and eventually 405hp still normally aspirated at 5.7l displacement. Does that mean Ford had to add a supercharger just to match the Corvette's power of 1990?
