I don't know judging by the beginning of the race, didn't look like the LS motor needed to turn 7K.

All BS aside though the new 5.0 engine is one hell of a motor, stock for stock they will rape a gen 3 LS, takes a full bolt on LS to beat one and that's if the 5.0 is stock. I have seen it in person at the track and on the street with my one of my buddy's rides, bone stock 02 SS M6 got raped by the same 2012 5.0 from a dig and a roll in both places. Ford has something good going on there. Full bolt on 5.0s with drag radials will run upper 11s all day long, that's impressive.
