After that both engines will cost money to go on. I personally prefer the 5.0 and spins easy up in the revs. 5.4 is based on f truck bottom end with long stroke. I've been in a modified 5.4 centrifugal supercharged and was average. Whipple would probably be better option on 5.4Ratter will probably answer the question better. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87909-54sc-vs-50sc-fg-fpv-gt/#findComment-1463670 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presently have a FG 5.4 but are going to leave it stock and put my money towards a S/C 5.0.
