stock to stock? well its according to which model i guess. i like the 5.0 myself. i feel its alot more flexible, so many things to do to one and alot simpler. i cant get into mod motors. only real power adder is...well, a power adder. 5.0 hands down!!!

Depending on what year....87-93 stangs > 96-98 stang
87-93 stangs > (94-95) 5.0's
87-93 stangs < (99-06)
But for the most part it will be a drivers race,, the 87-93 will edge out on them, cause the fox are the lightest.
