anyone know how much hp the 3.7 and 5.0 engines will be able to handle without breaking anything?

i was thinking about it the other day...if the 3.7 block can handle as much hp as the 5 liter, i'll probably just buy that and turbo it. it would cost less and stomp all over the gt

lol... no one has that answer... You're just gonna have to wait until they come out and people start modding them.

I just hope this rumors true. Cause I will be graduating from college at about the time these things make their debute and I will buy myself a graduation present if this happens!!!!!!! But yeah like stated I think the 3.7s will have a good amount of power and reliability to them. And if and when the aftermarket world supplies a turbo to them I see them very easily dusting the 5.0s for a much cheaper alternative to actually buying a 5.0.

ok guys relax. the 3.7 is SUPPOSED to have 315HP. My pony package cost 25k. A GT cost 28K.

after parts and labor dosent a trubo cost around 5k ?? or more?

i like you idea but you have to wait and see.

Well with enough money, you can make ANYTHING fast lol

Just replace the stock peices with forged internals and boost the thing.
