I haven't looked over there is a while. I was over on the other site when the GT500 came out to learn more about the car and whatnot. I might have to go over and check it out. I could use a good...

Seeing as how this is a pretty radical departure from anything GM has done before, I'm sure there will be a few growing pains. Especially since most folks think 5.0L is the limit for FPC before...

Yes, Ford said they couldn't do a dual intake system due to packaging issues, so they had to change the firing order to UDUD instead of UDDU. That's why is sound more like a cross plane than flat in...

Yes, second order vibrations have to be addressed at a certain displacement. This engine seems beyond that limit. We shall see how or even IF this is addressed if these rumors are true.

Yes, but I have some suspicions about accuracy. How would a 5.5L N/A motor make 600 lbft of torque? That's not going to happen. Plus, if you take 600 lbft of torque and multiply by 8000+ rpms (and...
