Given the cam architecture is completely different between the 2 engines, as well as the control processors, it would be unlikely.

Already researched it man, from what I've read it's not possible. The new 5.0s are dohc and I guess they overlap the timing. Ours are sohc so yea... Only way to get that rough idle is to do the real thing. And if you do you won't regret it =D parts are gonna run about a grand though...

ah bummer. That sounds amazing. But that is really cool how they can create that sound with just a tune. Pretty neat. Yeah, that'll be down the road at some point. I think that rumble gives the true muscle car feel.

Yea no doubt. I think they were having problems with burning holes in pistons though, which is why they stopped putting em out last I heard.

The ghost cam tune had nothing to do with that. That was from after market tuners running too lean with the knock sensors off.
And as stated, with the SOHC you can't control the intake cam independently from the exhaust cam, so you can't change the valve overlap. But you can put more aggressive cams in the SOHC for half the price of the DOHC.

Search is your friend. There are several threads on this.

Can't be done. Already contacted a few tuners to see. I wish it could be though!
