All of this info falls into about the same category of reliability as when my grandfather would say it was going to rain tomorrow because his knee started hurting. He got lucky and was right about 10% of the time. |

I've been speculating here for 10 years. Check my history of predictions. Like the 2019 Camaro SS would be based on bumblebee - 1 year before release. Or, be mystified by a car "that doesn't exist". For 5 more months anyway.

If you didn't mis type that a NA 5.5 likely makes 400 hp tops. Don't see much benefit to that.

Rumour has it a 5.5 NA DOHC will be good for 600hp.
Sounds very doable given a crate old LS3 with hotcam is good for a solid 525hp plus a 2 yr GM warranty. P.S. GM has been racing a 5.5L motor for decades... |

Guess we won't talk about the Twin-Charged engines coming after these. Turbo - Yes. Supercharged - Yes.

If GM makes 600+ hp out of a 5.5, it will be like the 5.2 Voodoo, and have no balls down low. That kind of engine will have to be all top end, and rev very, very high. Hell, 600+ is 109 hp/l, while the 5.2 Voodoo is 100 hp/l, and is FPC.

If this is any indication 5.5 may surprise nicely. But ya, only time will tell: new power plants are just around the corner and i think thats why we haven't seen any power bumps for 2019MY. |

A 600 hp 5.5 would be something like 350 torque spun up to 9000 rpm.

That's the reason I asked what the HP of the N/A version of the 5.5 would be. If they are targeting in the range of 600HP, it will need to spin to about 8,900 RPM's, which will mean FPC most likely. There have been rumors about FPC for the 5.5, so that would make sense. But, Ford is having trouble with their 5.2 FPC V8 that spins to "only" 8,250. It would be a challenge to make a 5.5 FPC V8 spin to 8,900 RPMs and make it reliable to say the least, and I am guessing it will be expensive if done right.
I am also guessing it will have a dual intake system like the Ferrari's rather than the single intake like the Voodoo. That would mean a different firing order than the Voodoo, and a different sound too. Ford had packaging issues with a dual intake and had to go to single intake, and hence the change in firing order from what you normally see with a FPC. Fun to think about! Exciting stuff! |

What if it was a turbo or supercharged 5 5 instead of a fancy FPC? Or, an electric assist 5.5? Could get 600 hp easy with either forced induction or electric assist.

The boosted 5.5 is claimed to be much more than 600hp. Quote:
