i think it depends on what power levels youre trying to achieve. with better pistons and rods, the supercharged 5.0 engine will generate more power than the GT500's 5.4 mod for mod. But we dont know that for sure, but the headflow on the 5.0 might be enough to make up for its lack of displacement. Without those upgrades, you can easily make more power than a STOCK GT500 but will hit the limit of the rods i think.
