You fail to grasp the whole scheme there buddy. There's a lot more factors that go into it than that. Such as compression ratio, engine layout (OHV vs OHC), tuning, etc, etc. Believe me, if GM wanted to make a 5.0 V8 making 500hp, they'd have no trouble doing so. Same goes for Dodge. Do your homework in this field before making such claims......
