I used to rag on 4.6 SOHC's quite a bit before I got my 02', but I offer this
LS1 V8 in SS trim 346 cid @ 320 = .92 hp per cid
4.6 SOHC in GT trim 281 cid @ 260 = .92 hp per cid
Not to shabby for a "base" motor. Granted I'd like to see something along the lines of 300 hp for the baby cammer (and I think Ford should try and push the envelop on 2 valve cars), still not to bad, especially considering the low compression ratio which brings a smile to my face when I hit the gas pump.
