Raced a new 5.0
#341
well its kind of over the top. i dont recall if ive heard its power. 800 would be a small number for it. i guess it depends more on his carb. he told me the cam specs but i dont remember them. solid roller. knowing him its huge.

Whatever it is, no doubt if it runs properly, that car will flat out move. It really seems like a build for 6's, though possibly not with those carbs... I don't like how high it is, but I don't need to.

thats kinda what he said to me. he had a call out thread for me. said his 2v is faster than my 4v turbo.....im willing to bet the second version of my motor with the new turbo will at least compete. maybe.

That makes for a boring thread which ends quickly... not an ENTIRELY bad thing... but...

Ive seen alot of reviews ofcourse not real world but the LS3 Camaro does trap about the same if not higher MPH in the quarter then the new 5.0. Maybe not as quick but just about the same speed. I wouldnt mind running into one, since i can always have that arranged being that i work at a chevy dealer, hehe. I have alot of respect for the new 5.0's. I saw a grey one the other day on the freeway which looked nice but didnt start anything with it and he didnt do anything either. If i was a bit more confident thinking that i might be able to keep up with it i would've tried but figured its much faster.

Not true. A base 5.0 6spd automatic with optional gears can potentially trap higher than an LS3 on any given day.
