Check out my intro thread. https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...05-gto-497183/

I have opted for the 4.8L for many reasons. One of the biggest is to prove a point, haha.

I really doubt I'll ever push it up much further than that. I'm guessing at about 6-700whp I'm sitting in the 10's, maybe 9's if I'm lucky. I'll be happy with that.
