I've been at 335 or so hp for the longes time. I think I"m ready to up that. But, it's going to have to be over 400 to make me happy.

the 361hp would be fine, keep the cost down a bit, then throw some mods on and you will be at 400 in no time. Heck with 6.0L a tune, headers and cam would just about do it.
I don;t know if there going to throw the LS3 430 hp in right away, it's new and the Vette will have it first, then I see it coming in 2012 Camaro. GM will not play there whole hand just yet, if you put the top motor in right off the bat you will not have anything in the future to toy with. look at the GTO started off with LS1 then LS2. This is why I think the Camaro will be in the 3500 weight range because it will have to be faster than the 06 GTO and even with 400hp it weighed in at close to 3800lbs. so @3500 with 361hp it's going too scoot. look at my Mustang, 3480lbs at 298 RWHP 312R WTQ Dynoed and run 12.8 in the 1/4
I would expect the Camaro to run 13.0 full stock trim at that weight and HP (of course givin drivetrain loss it would be around 330RWHP 355RWTQ) But I also suspect that if the L76 is used the HP will be higher that todays engine.
so I think we will see a little more HP and if thats the case, the Camaro will be a solid high 12 sec car Stock easy.
I don't know about you but I would be pleanty happy with that.
