Some of them are yes. So are quite a few ecoboosts.Not sure what you mean but bolt on 5.0's are in the 11's especially on E85 or auto's with a stall converter.
I like the EB for what it is, a gas saver that has the good looks. From what I seen around SoCal, EB's on a 91 tune (no 93 here), IC, CAI won't beat a stock 5.0. The tune has to be at least on E30 to keep up.
There are of course hero runs with an auto, E30 tune with full bolt ons running low 12's or even high 11's.. But those are hero runs, not the average.
I drove both, a stock and tuned EB.. on 91 from 3-4.5k it has a really good punch. A stock 5.0 with PP (3.73 gears) have a similar punch as well. The difference is the 5.0 will pull hard to redline.
Go look through the fast time 1/4 lists on the forum. There's more 12-13 second bolt on V8s than 11 second cars. There are a couple bolt on V8's running far worse times than STOCK EB's as well. Same can be said for both on hero and shit driver runs. There are drivers anywhere from 10.5 up to 13.9 in the bolt on section for V8's.
And actually the hero runs are much closer to 11 flat to 11.5 than 12. EB's stock motor/turbo bolt ons #1 hero is the exact same time as the #2 V8 bolt on. Where the #1 is substantially faster than both V8's and EB's.
