Keep in mind that the 5.0 that made 507 was not a all out h/c build. If anybody desides too put forth the effort on a max effort h/c setup It will make big power. To bad they don't have the nice aftermarket heads like the lsx guys do.

You don't need it. A platform with a well designed head to begin with doesn't need an aftermarket casting, several imports don't use aftermarket casting heads and there are ALOT of fast imports out there. For example hondas, the 2.7l strokers are making low 4's with stock head CNC ported.

You look like you can handle it so if you see me let me know cause you're more than welcome
Come one man you're reading into it way too much. I came from having two f bodies and doing all of that stuff to shave weight. Buying aftermarket suspension, wheels, taking the jack and spare tire out, fiberglass hood, etc. my comment was really based on I did it and I wouldn't want to do that again that's why when I got this car it wasn't going to be heavily modded. I love all cars and don't care what you have. If I was a pompous ******* and whatever else you said do you think I would offer my passenger seat to a compete stranger? He might smoke have rabies or some **** lol.

And when i bought this car... i had no intention of modding it at all. Unfortunately i cant leave **** alone lol. I cant speak for coyotes, but from what i can say about the boss...is it keeps surprising me more and more as i play with it. Im happy with it

This. I love the speculation and BS people talked on here when the ZL1 was going to be released, and it was several MPH slower than the GT500 at the track, then everyone became a track god on here LOL.

I wouldn't be surprised if the coyotes wouldn't even need an aftermarket head casting.
Its funny how the japs had luxury cars with modular v8 in the late 80s that put out more power than most american sports car v8s at the time, with ALOT less cubes too.

500+whp is came only ls territory? I wasnt aware. And why do you insist on always comparing a 5.0 to a 7.0 in terms of naturally aspirated potential?

In my neck of the woods, your average F-body makes a C6 look a little chubby. 
That setup in an F-body at St. Louis F-body weight...
I'm not calling BS, but I sift through SVTP a decent amount, and aside from that initial cammed 5.0, I haven't seen any cammed or heads/cams 5.0s. Care to enlighten me? You make it sound like they are plentiful so odd that I missed them. Some links would be nice, especially to these 550rwhp ones.

Cam only 500+whp only apply's to LS7 on stock displacement. LS3's can pull 485-495 with a larger Cam. I have yet to see 500+ cam only.

i agree he def over hypes what they can do on occasion. But on the 500-550whp part, that is correct. Those are ported heads, aftermarket cam numbers. 100% percent of them have made within that range....however there have only been like 4 of them to spend the 6k(on just heads, cams) it takes to do that lol
