What about High RPM on the V6? If the turbo is going to be ignored and the ecoboost stang is getting more torque, why not commit to a rev-happy six and drop the four cylinder altogether? I've heard so many reviews and owners praising the V6's current feel and sound. Higher RPM would improve upon both. It currently redlines at 7000, and makes 335hp. Upping that redline to 8000 and upgrading a few things like the intake and throttle body would make for one heck of an engine. That could be making 375hp, which is as much as a Challenger R/T. Imagine an 8000 rpm engine with the ten-speed and NPP exhaust... WITH A 1LE PACKAGE! That's a BMW beater.
The V8 should stay OHV and torqey, just the way it has been for over 55 years. You cold start an LT1 and get goosebumps every time. It sounds so good and I've read that it feels good too. A higher redline on it would take away from the brutal low rpm torque that Chevy Small blocks are known for.
