I figure Ford will replace the modular soon since it's getting killed in the naturally aspirated horsepower wars...plus, the design is about 13 years old now. The LS1 is a baby compared to the modular, and now the new Hemi is here. If their 24 valve F150 modular won't compete with the Hemi in power, they need to just go back to the drawing board without delay or make superchargers the norm.
if Chevy can make over 400 HP with 16 valves and no supercharging in their V8, then I can't imagine what is getting in Ford's way. Somehow the F150 will continue to inexplicably outsell everything...and they'll keep costs low by not developing a competitive engine. I, however prefer to invest my money in current technology...and it looks like the future will have pushrods!
