Notice the stock pull hits a brick wall at 6800.
Lemme see what I can dig up.
Preliminary results from headers/X-pipe are showing gains in the 25-35 RWHP range. CAI also looks to gain a bit. Seems reasonable that 425-ish or so "bolt-on" HP should be relatively easy to get too.
Concur on the limited displacement - pretty much nothing will match the LS-series in that regard.
Mike....new GT is ~250 lbs lighter than the SS (~3600 vs ~3850). Thanks for the data.
Impressive results; this new 5.0l will be a terror on the streets!

I have no concern over who prefers what, but to come out and say something so "matter of factly" when you've already shown you don't know a thing about the other engine you're comparing... Foolish is an understatement. Next, you'll be all shocked "when" they run 9's with it...
