Is this Ford engine a 350 cubic inch engine?

If so how come they can release it at 550 hp why GM wont release the bigger 427 cubic inch LS7 to at least 550 Hp or more?

Related question. I see many guys on this forum struggle to get over 500 rwhp in an NA engine. The crank power of such an engine should be around 575 or so. That is with the 6.2 liter which I believe is 376 cubic inches.

So again why are the chevy engines struggling to get there and ford can put out a 550 hp engine right out of the factory. You know that car will be street driveable so how do they do it.

Real answers please no silly things like "duh, well Ford engines are just better."
