The 5.0's are a bit faster off the line, their power band is lower in the rpm's. The modular motors NEED to spin to make power. But if youre interested in getting one, the 5.0 is the way to go. WAY more mods available for it, not to mention it takes to them VERY well, a lot better than most 4.6's Ive seen or read about.

I made my choice about 4 months ago.\/ \/ \/ I heard 94-95 5.0s computers dont respond well to cams? Steedas #19 cam is supose to respond work well with 94-95 5.0s. I think it might come down to the driver too.

Just asking cause saw some guy in a white 96-98 GT. Had some gauges on pillar and a big tach, but he had this goofy body kit and Superman emblems on his fenders and grill.LOL He was tailgating me like crazy.
He most likely has a swollen head and ego, but its hard to tell if he was a ligitiment threat with out popping the hood. A true blue blooded stang man always shows respect for other stangs, enen though there are the riced stangs and the traditional american muscle stangs but respect should be shown to all stang owners. Even if there taste sucks (riced stangs). Don't sweat it theres always gonna be someone better and faster, just be happy for you![8D]

the Crane 2031 is also supposed to be comptuer compatible, but I think it's a little less agreesive than the Steeda #19 just FYI the Steeda is made by Crane.

false. GT should = 215 HP and Cobras should = 305 HP.
