New tech? This **** in the 'new' 5.0 has been around for 20+ years... The only reason a "tune" gains power on a Cobalt is because you can turn the boost up with the tune.
Back in the day we'd throw an exhaust on a turbo car and turn the boost up with a 3 dollar valve from hope depot and gain way more than 3mph lol

it gets old. you dont like them, we get it.
my point was a tune does a lot. regardless of it being a FI car or v8.
.6 is pretty significant for a few hundred bucks. especially when it means the difference between runnin with an ls1 goat an ls2 from a roll :p
oh wait, but not yer magical 12 second bolt on goat
and u think the new 5.0 isnt new? just because the liters sounds familiar doesnt mean it hasnt come a long way. thats like sayin the ls9 isnt new cause they been doin it since the lt1.
u kill me sometimes.

Conventional logic tells us that's going to happen... but people were saying similar things about the Coyote motor and how it would respond to bolt-ons. So until aftermarket heads/cams/intakes come out for the new 5.0s, I'm going to reserve judgment. As it stands, the Mustang GTs are more than capable of besting Camaro SS times stock or with bolt-ons.

Okay...the tires are a big mod for 1/4 times, as more the 2mph increase, nice gains
Now like I stated above, I was comparing engines, not the LS2 in a heavy GTO... I could put a stock LS1 in an RX-7, shave some weight, and beat those mustang times. I'm not saying a LS1 camaro can best a 11GT 5.0 lol, thats like comparing a stock LS1 to a stock 5.0 fox, both 10 years apart.
The new 5.0's do respond well to bolt on's, I still don't think it will win over the LS3 mod for mod

I don't know much about the new 5.0's, but don't they have an aggresive set-up from the factory? I could be wrong...
bolt-on for bolt-on the '10SS and '11GT are similar
But...
I've seen vids of cam only LS3's touching close to 500rwhp

These cars are going 10s with a nitrous kit..I have a brand new one in the box just taking up space in the room but I haven't decided to install yet. Very tempting though

And basic bolt-on '11 GTs are hitting 440rwhp already. Ported aftermarket intake manifold and a set of cams, and 500rwhp doesn't seem to far away.

It would seem I'm a bit out of my league when these Stang's start bolting on, I can come close to the same with weight reduction but don't think it's fair. Time to cam it up and pray my rear holds! 2011 Gt's, I salute you

I havent dynoed my car the way it is, but i would be suprised if it put down more than 400-410 on a dynojet given conditions. I think your right, hell, i dont think i'd even make 430 with longtubes added.
