Your impression of 2nd gear in a 5.0 is probably due to the shape of the power curve - stock 5.0s make a ton of low end and midrange compared to the 4.6 but don't make their peak power up as high as the mod motor. When my '00 GT was stock some 5.0s would pull me slightly early on in 1st and then I would pass them in 2nd.
