Maybe youve missed something in knowing when you are making money from a specific product(http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68548)

As ive stated earlier with the previous 2001 vs 2002 Z06, 2004 GTO - 2005 GTO. It would not be surprising at all to see GM up the ante.
Hell dyno test from a 2008 C6 were 436hp 428tq by a better flowing exhaust, who's to say that later camaro's wouldnt recieve some kind of mild to wild system.

The Blue Oval techs played with this engine for how many years just to make 400+ HP N/A. they've gone through MANY cam profiles, Many different Bores and Strokes and still barely succeed with a 5.0l, VVT, DOHC, 11.0 SCR, Forged Crank, Standard Pistons and Rods, and 4-2-1 Headers!! WOWWWIE Ford finally made over 400 hp N/A w/ Fuel Injection almost 10 years after GM.
