To your second point.... all of the cars that Car and Driver runs at their lightning lap are stock vehicles. It was a stock Mustang GT with PP......

I will say though that there are not too many things that you can do to the LGX engine, except add twin turbos to it in order to make a crap ton of money. There might be some tuners that will work with this engine (I remember some pushing the 304BHP V-6 in the CTS up to about 340BHP).

The reason why the V-6 1LE was able to put up a competitive lap time compared to the Mustang GT has a lot to do with weight (or lack there of). Also the 1LE V-6 probably out handles and out brakes the Mustang GT even with the PP on it.
