That's because the Miami 5.0 was being compared to a 6.2L blown & intercooled V8 which only makes an extra (factory claimed) 26kW !

Doesn't look good for the HSV guys having a V8 from the blue team that's 20% smaller in cubic capacity yet making very similar power..

Anyways, both motors have similar capacities (Miami 4951cc vs Jag 5000cc) and almost identical bore and stroke specs.

Also interesting to note the early Jag blown 5.0's made 380kW/625Nm, pretty much the same as the BOSS 335's..
