Look what it did to the Charger. GM is on this. 
Mark my words, no matter what engine gets popped in, We WON'T be disapointed. It'll have AFM, and 400 horses (at the very least in the way of features). Anybody really wanna complain about that? |

Not complaining just real curious.
EDIT: Everytime we get new information it creates more questions then it answers... I feel like I'm watching an episode of Lost..... What the???

I am pretty sure that was before Scott told us to "forget everything you've heard about engines".
Don't forget that Mopar's 5.7 Hemi (for the LX body R/Ts) is getting bumped up to ~390hp and that Ford is rumored to be rolling out a new V8 for the GT mid model year 09. I think that the Camaro will have the best power to weight ratio, but the HP War is definitely on. 
From what I’ve read the only thing holding the L76 back is the fact that the collapsible lifters cannot collapse as far as a stock LS2 cam lifts. So the four deact cylinders have smaller cam lobes. If GM found better deact lifters or found a way to use higher ratio rockers then the revised L76 should make more power than an LS2 (400hp) since it has better heads (and the intake to?).
I suggest we call this mystery motor the L76.5 until we learn more.  |
GREAT POST!
