+1. A non-boosted 5.0 that puts out as much hp as my Cobra stock is appealing even though it's heavier. But, with high compression adding boost later on is going to be few if anything. And it's also pushing the limits even more so than boosting an 05-09.

To prove my point look at the 350Z guys, most of them that do superchargers/turbos blow their stock motor if they go above 4-5lbs. I see the cam/head market being really big, but boosting a high compression motor won't be worth it. I can see that right now.

You also have an older car and it's a V6. Can't really compare. I'm assuming you don't have full liability and comprehensive coverage.

I just read that the 5.0 ran a 12.8 and the v6 ran a 13.7

that's fucking crazy

I was reading that too, but the article I read said it was their first run and that they should be able to get 12.5 out of the GT.

They posted the full article earlier, and as we all expected mustang>camaro>challenger. It's just like .4 behind the gt500 in the 1/4.

These are gonna be bad ass..
