Like I said... we dont know enough about any of these cars to say what runs bad and what runs good. Honestly... it takes a solid 120mph car to take down my buddies tune/catback base model car. If this fifth gen does say 115mph... and that 5.0 runs as good as my buddies.... this is easily understandable.
As far as the fifth gen... my first mod wouldnt be making more hp. From the clutch assembly back is where I would start.

This same 5.0 im referring to trapped consistent 116.XX with JUST a catback. He made 378/367 then. He tuned it and made 398/395. Nothing against you... but his car wouldnt have an issue with the best running 114mph car...atleast on the roll anyway. I cant speak for digs as his car is still on stock tires

Well, to clarify, the 5.0 is a better straight line car.. the Camaro is a better road course car. At least until the IRS 2015's come out.

If this is a full bolt on camaro even an auto that know how to drive he should pull a stock 5.0. SHOULD on paper. But **** happens. But we also don't know what his idea of full bolt ons is. It could just be exhaust, codl air and a TB spacer.

LOL.....nice try.
This is what I have been saying for a while.
There is more to it than the clutch to. But it would be a good place. Those heavy *** 20's has got to go. A nice 18" or the z28's wheels would be a great place to start. The Z's wheels drops like 40lb off the SS wheels. Just going to stock Mustang weight clutch and wheels would net about 60lb less in rotating. That's pretty huge and no set of headers is gonna overcome that.

I trapped 114 stock in my manual 5.0. Never had issue with 5th gens stock or even cammed ones once I started modding it. From a dig or roll.

Automatic 5th gens come with VVT which it's been proven is the way to go, people get talked into doing the ls3 conversion and well they don't run a nice as a well tuned VVT cam
