500WHP on the 6.2 and for a reasonable price.

Not going to get that with the 5.0 period. Take the ~200lbs. weight advantage of the Mustang and pencil through it. Not gonna matter. Bolt on vs. bolt on the Camaro will own.

F/I may prove to be a closer match. Time will tell.
I assume you're talking about the LS3 when you mentioned attaining 500 rwhp with the bolt ons that you listed.

I didn't know you can get 590 fwhp (164 fwhp gain) with heads and a cam. That's about a 130 rwhp gain. Intake and exhaust don't add very much. I'm just saying, I think that's on the high side. But I don't know, maybe you're talking about a crazy aggressive heads and cam package. Wouldn't that greatly take away from the streetability though?
