i think the OGs kinda take over all these threads but its pretty much just the ones that were going to derail anyway.

So back to ways to lighten the Z?? or what was this thread about??

Stupid Ford, they lied about there 1st 5.0. This new one probably is not even a V8. Probably just has a recording of a cool car so the owners feel good about themselfs on the way to the Nascar race, or the trailer park. Whatever hillbillies do.

I agree completely. If it can produce 10+rwhp/tq under the curve WITHOUT disturbing top end power, it will be well worth it for many people.
