Jeff,

A "5.0" is a specific engine used in 80s and early 90s Mustangs. A 302/351 can be anything, some producing over 800hp in NA no nitrous street trim.

Cammed appropriately for power, even a 600cid engine needs to be reved. Just the tendency is to run the big cube engines with relatively small cams. With a 270/270/108 cam with maybe .65-.70" lift, you may not be as satisified below 3000 rpm.
