The theoretical big block stroker only makes 550hp when you want it to. Only when you mash the go pedal. Other than that, it makes a lot less power. There's that whole control thing again.

The FE is a medium block in the Ford world.

The question is, what exactly Is the point of 550HP in a sub-3,000# car on the street?
