I know they aren't. It's hard to read sarcasm in a post.

Look at the crazy amounts of power the ecoboost gets with just a tune.

I'm sure GM could easily tune it for 450/450+ for the ATS-V.

But custom tuners will take it past that for sure.

Damn 420 is great for a stock 6. Too ba this wasn't a simple upgrade on the LFX.

This new GM TT looks very promising indeed!

We have my 3.5 EcoBoost cranked up to about 500 HP with a simple tune and a little bit of methanol for safety. Inside guys says they once took a 3.5 EcoBoost up to about 700 HP with just a tune... but vehicle started spitting tranny parts out after a couple thousand miles...

Having two EcoBoosts in my driveway and seeing this new GM turbo offering, i seriously doubt I'll ever buy an N/A vehicle and then add aftermarket FI.... from now on i think it will strictly be factory FI...
