actually the 5.0 routinely puts out the same or more HP stock to the wheels than the LS3 or 6.1 chally. The engine is most likely underrated + the solid rear axle eats less power. And bolt-ons to boltons the 5.0 i still put my money on the 5.0 producing more power. The LS3 DOES put out more off idle and low range torque though. Theyre all close enough in power to weight that its still a relatively close race but the mustang does have the advantage
