A twin screw blower really fixes any power issues a ModMotor (4.6 or 5.0) may have at any rpm you may be having the problems.

Smaller displacement engines need elevated engine speed to produce big power. It is simply a matter of pounds of air and pounds of fuel burnt per unit time. The blown version of the 4.6 or 5.0 with 14.7 psi of manifold pressure effectively doubles the displacement of the engine. If it is a 4.6L variant with blower it acts like a 562 inch n/a engine. If it is a 5.0L variant it acts like a 600 inch n/a engine.

The bickering is nothing more than who thinks his dog is bigger.

Dimis, the most important thing to remember is, it is your car and you are paying the tab. As is so often said, 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' and in this case, you are the beholder! Choose and build to make yourself happy and of course the local emissions nazis. At the end of the day the make yourself happy approach will yield the most smiles per mile - and after all that's what its all about ...
