Add another notch to the number of people here that have 0 clue what they are talking about. Honda didn't do it first and TIVCT is quite different.

The true test will be to see what kind of numbers the 5.0 is capable of with a street-able pump gas NA h/c set up. If it can get to about ~470rwhp it will be right with the H/C LS3 camaro (~490rwhp). If it stops around 450 we will still have a slight advantage.

But either way...like has been said many times before. The cars are truly a good match for one another.
I agree, but I don't see the 5.0 having many head options. The stock heads flow so well, it just won't be worth the money. Cams will be another odd deal because of the TIVCT. The money maker will be enabling the valvetrain to rev higher. If the heads flow as well as we're told, spinnin' that bitch to 8k could make for some monstrous gains.
