To say their no different is kinda wrong though, the power levels might be similar but the DOHC's do it with less displacement. Theyre already working on a supercharger for the 5.0 that should put down 520ish RWHP @ only 7psi. I believe a supercharger upgrade for the 6.2 netted someone on here RWHP in the high 400's
You're right, all the warranty-backed LS3 packages seem to be in the high 400's, which I think suggests that's the "safe level" for the stock engine internals (and I think they're also running around 7psi).

This upcoming SC for the 5.0, will Ford offer it as a warranteed package?
