Am I wrong here? The Voodoo was supposed to be the highest HP naturally aspirated engine Ford has produced for a street-car I thought, so what's with this article?

I thought that, but the way it is worded, makes it sound like it is referring to highest HP by Ford Performance "its most powerful naturally aspirated V8 yet"
Typical marketing gimmicks ;)

Idk, seems pretty clear to me they strictly mean exactly as it says. It's the mostnm powerful NA 5.0l in a Mustang.

It even later says
this is our best 5.0-liter V8 yet

I think it's a misprint. They do mention the 5.0 quite a few times. But who knows, Ed Krenz reminds me too much of Gavin Newsom to take anything at face value.

The article is pretty specific to 5.0 liter engines, actually - one of the section headlines makes it very clear: "Most Powerful Mustang GT 5.0-liter V8"

The Voodoo is 5.2 liters, and along with any other engine that's not 5.0 liters, it doesn't count.

Gotcha, just the way it sounded to me. I was trying to find out if the Voodoo was still the highest HP NA engine ever available in a car from Ford.

Also a direct quote from the article:

“the most powerful non-Shelby edition ever.“

Still King Daddy for Ford NA V8 engines.
