I think on dodge.com they rate it at 235hp and 340tq. I just got my 04qc and i find it to be more than enough I just ordered a flowmaster system for mine. And i think i am going to try a cold air intake as well. I am only averaging around 12mpg right now and hope to improve on it.
The 5.0 is a 5.0L/302cid V-8. Ford doesn't use it at the current time on production cars (it's a Ford engine) but it is available in crate engines. They last used it in the SVT Mustang Cobra and Mustang GT in 1995, it had 240-295HP. The crate engine 5.0 has 350-500HP, depending on what you order with the engine (Supercharger, Turbocharger, Pulley, and so on). But they have also used the 5.0 since 1969 so I don't know which one you are talking about. From 1969 to 1973 the 5.0 was rated at 290HP but had 350-365HP. From 1975 to 1979 it was rated at 135HP but had 200HP. In the eighties it ranged anywhere from 195-292HP, depending on weather it was a Mustang, GT, Cobra, or Saleen. They are talking about bringing back the BOSS 302 Mustang in 2006 which would mean another 5.0 V-8, if they do it's been rumored to have between 350 and 450HP.
