Not a lot of V8's will play well with over 45psig manifold boost and >8500 rpm.

There are very few 6's that can pull it off.

That being said, I'd never buy a 4 banger in a Camaro. It doesn't mean it's not a great engine, it just means I wouldn't buy a six either. Or an automatic. Or a 'vert. Or put 20"s or larger on one. Or put any chrome on it. Or put a radio in one.

For me, it's got to be a huge NA V8 with a true MANual and a hardtop.
