Default lets talk engines

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

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.

Well with enough money, you can make ANYTHING fast lol

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