Now, if it was twin turbo i could see where it would cost alittle more with computer/custom work, but anyone could slap a whipple on a gt500 in 1 afternoon, tune and be at the same level power. No doubt the thing buts down very impressive time, and the Camaro version wont even have a shot. Im curious why they didnt release the 5.8 with a 4.0 whipple for the 2013 model being that it is very limited production.

Because the 5.0 is making just as much power and there are CI restrictions on the classes that it was designed to compete.
Same reason chebby used the 5.7 in their "COPO" camaro race car and the CTS-V engine in the SC version instead of the 7.0.
