V6 Mustang is about to eat the V6 Camaro's lunch...through "neglect"...

N/A, with a few "common" bolt-ons, it was "suggested" before Launch that 350+ Net Horsepower was "possible"...375+ with 91-octane...from "internal" GM sources...

HELP!

GTAHVIT: To clarify MY comments, they are in NO WAY intended as a put-down of Ken, or Graham, or Jason, or anyone associated with LPE. They are "friends" of ours. But this thread was "convenient"...ergo, what I posted, above...with ZERO reference to LPE...
And let us be clear,

We are in no way saying you guys shouldn't makes as much noise as possible to show the Aftermarket you are a legit market.. By all means.

We just want to be sure that we don't bash them when they come up short.

I tend to agree this engine has got a ton of room to grow... but the ECM is holding it back... The computer is the key to unlock this car's potential.
