The issue with the 5.0 will be keeping it N/A.

They stated that there is no gain to be had with shorty headers. There will be small gains with long tubes. The intake design leaves nothing to be gained in the aftermarket. That leaves a tune and long tubes for the N/A folks. Replacing 4 cams will cost almost as much as adding forced induction. See where this is heading?
It will cost a lot of $$$ to get significant power out of the 5.0. It has a ton of potential but your pockets better be deep.

Of course, that could be said with almost any engine.
