Yes, the hp/inch argument is a ricer thing, but it applies here. The S200 makes all that power up in the stratosphere, the 4.6 (like the 5.7 chevy) makes the power down low *does the down low shimmy*. Chevy can't beat Ford in engineering. Take a Fox Body Mustang vs. a Camaro of the same year (late 80s) and they both run about he same, but the Camaro has 48 more inches! Blech.
My friend recently went to a car show and the Chevy dealer there was braggin about how they got 350hp out of the 350cu/in engine in their crate motor. The Ford 351 crate makes 385hp............and I don't think they are getting that 35hp from one cu/in.
