The 5.0 is no where near maxed out in factory form. I will agree that it will take a good bit of money and someone that is knowledgeable on the OHC motors from ford to start getting decent power in NA form.

We have already seen DOHC Ford 5.0L engines making over 500rwhp. Admittedly not the same as the 5.0 going in the GT and these were racing applications. And I readily admit that the 6.2 will make more power with full bolt-ons than the 5.0L. It should it has 1.2L more to work with.

The weight advantage simply means the camaro will need to make around 30 more rwhp than the 5.0 to keep the power-to-weight ratio roughly the same.
