This argument will rage on. They are making 4cl LNF Blocks hold over 800hp. GM Could easily put 400 plus hp into a Camaro that is 500lbs lighter and still get the same reliability and by the way my Cobalt sounds bad ass. All I did was remove the cats and put a 3'' stainless down pipe in its place. 6 bolts 150 smackers later.
Go to zzp performance web site or go do some research on the cobalt forum. Muscle and performance are no longer linked to cylinder size. Block heads
If the sound bothers you record your V8 at WOT hook it to a good sound system in the trunk connect it to the throttle in puts at the ECU and bam you go supa dupa fast and sound amazing.
