5.0 is cheaper and easier. But overall I think the 4.6L DOHC is second to none when it comes to boost applications

No contest (unless the 5.0 had some serious aluminum heads)--the DOHC hands down.

That is very vague. Now if you said 5.0 as in a 347 then all bets are out.

Theres no such thing as a 5.0 347...It would then be a 5.7

I think we can safely eliminate any stroker kits. This means no Navigator 5.4, either.
