On the GT500 powerplant, which is excellent:

How much would it have cost to remove >100lb from the GT500 engine? I think the LS9 has more area under the curve?
How is the Roadrunner 302 to LS7 apples to oranges? They both are specialty N/A engines. The only thing the LS7 has that the BOSS doesn't is the titanium parts, which it doesn't need.

As for the Trinity vs LS9 dyno charts, I can't find any comparisons that show the two, but I find it hard to believe the LS9 would have more area under the curve. The Trinity makes more power and torque plus is running higher boost.
