A flat plane motor is not unimpressive because it is decades old, this one is unimpressive because it is nothing special.
While Chevy is pushing the envelope of what an OHV engine can do, Ford is laying back on what a FP can easily do. The LT1 and 4 are special because they are the best OHV engines made, the voodoo is not special.
Is the voodoo better than the LT is a different discussion, one I'm not currently informed enough on to participate in as more than a spectator, and highly subjective.
Find an OHV motor more advanced than LT? You will not. Find a flat plane more impressive than the voodoo? They are everywhere.

You seem to forget emissions play a key part of how domestic engines are designed. If you seriously think that fords Voodoo motor could only make 520 HP you're shitting yourself. Ferrari and other small boutique car makers are able to bypass that with credits and whatnot. It's one of the reasons a NA Z06 was shelved.
