"High Performance" (LS) 5.0 version ?

[Stevefreestyle]

Apart from the 5.2 GT350, could there also be a High Performance version of the 5.0 in the wings ?

Note how the "High Performance" version engine is differentiated from the regular 5.0 in the Parts catalogue below.

I think Ford is trolling us with those catalogs.

If the Ford Racing catalog is relevant, the 6007 engine is a Aluminator NA with Manley forged pistons/H-beam connecting rods, among other tweaks. The number also applies to FR's box stock production 5.0, but I'm leaning towards "high performance" mods.
