Flat tops of would put me me well into the mid to high 500s.

Not only the builder but also how much do you want to spend   bang for the buck and the chevy wins hands down

throw enough money at something and even a honda can be fast...

id love to see boats using the coyote 5.0 motors.  damn things are 400hp and 600hp+ with easy mods.  ford even makes a swap kit with a ECU, etc for $1500 to get one running out of the box.

412 hp @ 6500...f'ing worthless in a jet (c/d or d/e impeller? wtf???)

1000 hp with twin turbos... easy mods...not easy on the wallet

from a chebby guy, 460 over coyote, MORE VALUE

If the Ford is so much better than the Chevy  why is it you never see them in any of the big Eliminators  DCBs Advantages  just to name a few

Lack of industry backing?  Flooded market of GM parts and aftermarket resources?  Government Conspiracy?  Maybe Ford wasn't the lowest bidder Mercruiser was developing a line of engines?  May never know
