I'm no Dodge fan boy, in fact I already have my Camaro on order, but nobody can argue with Hemi engines from the early 70's that were rated 425 hp, but dyno'd over 700 stock.

sorry, but did you just say that stock hemi's made over 700hp? id love to argue that. unless you could show some facts where you got this info.
and obviously, you only think about the old school Hemi, the modern "Hemi" is nothing more than a trademark name. and yes the new hemi combustion chambers are based off of LS technology.
