To be honest I figured it was the more aggressive gears that helped me. My mods are long tube headers, dyno tune, air raid cai, and 410s. Which I know I don't come close to its hp. I'm making a little more then a stock ls1.

There's so much butthurt from 5.0s from the normal Tech crowd that it is hilarious.
These are the facts: the 5.0 came out in 2011 and the LS1 came out in 1997. Of course it's a superior motor. It makes more power to the wheels stock than your general cam only LS1. With bolt ons can make up to what a heads/cam LS1 makes. It's no secret that it's a great engine and Ford's best N/A engine to date factory stock IMO. It will beat an LS1 stock to stock every single time, and most of the time with bolt ons as well as long as the driver isn't an idiot. It's a superior car ALL around, not just engine wise, and anybody who wouldn't trade their shitty fbody for one is a damn fool. I personally can't wait to get one sometime as a DD beside my fbody.

Guitar I would not trade my car for a new 5.0, everywhere you look there is a new v6 or 5.0, they run rampant, my car does not blend in, imo looks better than new mustangs and my car turns heads, the average 5.0 buyer does not mod there car there for I will always be faster so that is not a issue, I prefer the look of a 4th gen trans am much more than any stang, but that's just me

A WS6 or Firehawk still gets my attention.
