Maybe the tighter tr3160 gearing will help the 480hp version of the 5.0 out a little better than the 18+ mt82.

Yeah, I was thinking of the C&D long term test:
https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...y-maintenance/
C/D TEST RESULTS: NEW
60 mph: 4.4 sec
100 mph: 9.9 sec
130 mph: 16.7 sec
Rolling start, 5–60 mph: 5.1 sec
¼-mile: 12.6 sec @ 115 mph
Top speed (governor limited, mfr's claim): 163 mph
Braking, 70–0 mph: 159 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.95 g
I think the tighter gearing with the Tremec should help the Mach 1 a little. I'll be disappointed if it also runs a 12.6 @ 115.
