You might as well call a Mazda6 a Mustang in that case, cause they are built on the same line by the same equipment...
They aren't refered to Mods anymore...hell as a 5L engine I wouldn't want to be associated with that name either

Hey I didn't say that... but they aren't exactly spring chickens.
Could you imagine a 5.4L built with the same durability but all the new tech in the 5L line?
I pooped a lil....

Contrary to popular belief, the Modular engine did not get its name from its design or sharing of certain parts among the engine family. Instead, the name was derived from a manufacturing plant protocol, "Modular", where the plant and its tooling could be changed out in a matter of hours to manufacture different versions of the engine family.

Dunno. The blown 5.4L 4v has 8.4:1 compression and 9 PSI. The blower is worth around 150HP at the most being an Eaton and the compression. The motor alone is worth 400HP. It does this with no VCT whatsoever. If it were 11:1 like the 5.0, it'd be at least 435. It has the knock sensors already. The Ti-VCT is neat but doesn't make quite the difference I had hoped after seeing the 5.0 torque curve. Remember the 5.4 in 2000 via the Cobra R was already at 385HP. The Ford GT heads, while flowing 4% less on the intake than the 5.0 heads, flow 20% better on the exhaust. I honestly prefer the 5.4L 4v in the SVT model. The 5.0 however is perfect for the GT.

The SE will be better... and then
We'll start to see what its more capable of with future with the aussie version.
(I hope we get some form of this engine)
but the 5.4 ain't done yet
everyone sure they want a 2011 GT500?

You can make power lots of different ways, there were plenty cars in the 60's that had tons of hp. But the 5.0 is about efficency, the Ti-VCT is one thing that helps give you tons of power without the drawback of mileage.

The 2000 Cobra R was underrated and most likly put out over 400hp, but the car was rated at mpg 13 city and 18 hwy, under the old system, according to the epa website, in todays method it would get 12 city 17 hwy.

The 5.4L 4v has a lot of life left in it now that I think about it.

so the GT500 will pretty much be the only Ford still using a 5.4L at all after 2011..

DRIFTING: Driver wins Formula Drift series opener, his first win in Long Beach.

LONG BEACH - Vaughn Gittin Jr. spun donuts, sending smoke into the air while sticking his left arm out of his 2011 Mustang and pumping his fist in celebration.
"The key to winning was having Falken tires, an amazing new Ford Mustang and a great team," he said. "Aside from that, consistency, confidence and not being scared to take a risk and we had all of it. This event we showed up with a full package and, you know, it's been a long time coming.
