I had an 18 5.0 and while torque in the coyote's lower rpm's is pretty darn decent for its displacement and it sounded sweet at 7500, it still didn't match the low intensity, low effort torque of the LT1. The Voodoo has even less torque down low than the coyote but a sweeter top end. IMHO, you are very smart to acknowledge what your driving style/conditions are on a daily basis. I LOVE the GT350 in so many ways but on a day in/day out basis, your not screeming to 8250 regularly.

There is something to be said for having an engine that can put a smile on your face at 40% throttle at lower rpms. That isn't a knock on the voodoo/gt350, its just engineered operational characteristics. And everyone is different, so if low rpm torque doesn't do it for you, then by all means, look at the GT350. But the sad reality for me is the aggressive tramlining and reduced low rpm torque, just doesn't make sense in the real world mundane daily drive.
