I'd say Turbocharge that lighter 3.7 liter and let'r rip! I seen that 3.7 liter car at the Dealerships and they are really nice. More room in the engine compartment for mods and all as well.
I believe someones going to put a really nasty Turbo on the 3.7 which is going to rival the Buick Grand Nationals of the day!
---and also going to be strong against even the 5.0!

Thanks, 10's are Next!
The Software/Hardware is not available to the public. This is something we're keeping in-house ONLY so tunes for the 5.0L and 3.7L can be developed over the next few weeks!
SCT should have something ready for you in a couple of weeks when you get your car.....

I hope I get proven wrong, but I highly doubt it. Everybody keeps talking about how aftermarket won't be able to outflow the 5.0 heads, and how upgrading cams will be incredible expensive ('cause you have to get 4 of them). Also, cams on the 3V didn't give any real noticeable gains, not sure the story will be too different for the 5.0.
What else can you possibly do to this engine to bring you down .83 of a second to get you in the 10's? I don't see it happening N/A.

if the aftermarket is able to significantly increase the CFM, will it negatively effect velocity? The cams will probably be 1500 and then another 400-450 or more for valvetrain, so you're looking at almost 3k including install.
If 10's N/A are even possible with this car on the stock shortblock with an aggressive top end, it'll have to cost $12-15,000 or heck maybe more.
Here's an estimated total of the mods it may take to run 10's N/A in a new 5.0.
Cams- $2000 w/ valvetrain est
Heads- $3000 est
Headers/Midpipe- $1700 est
CAI- $400 est
Dynotune- around $300
Catback Exhaust- $820
Bogarts w/ M/T Skinnies and ET Streets- $2200
LCA's/UCA- $300
Driveshaft- $900 est
K-Member/A-Arms- $950 est
That's $12,570 in mods, not including install, gaskets, and fluids. So yeah it would be expensive to run 10's N/A if at all possible.

I think they will be somewhat more expensive because it's a completely new engine and I'm not even sure that prior 4v cams are compatible. MMR sells GT500 Comp Cams for 1300, titanium retainers and upgraded springs for 900, and heads for 3200-3600. I do not like using MMR in any reference because they carry a bad reputation, but they're the only place that really sells GT500 valvetrain, cams, and heads unless you count FRPP selling the Ford GT cams as an upgrade for the GT500.

With that kind of power....if you can take out enough weight without making a shell of the car....proper suspension, driving, gearing, good track, etc. It'll go 10's without a lot of work.
Biggest unknown is how much weight can be taken out.

Now that I think of it, considering Ron Leonard ran 10.9's in his 3700lb w/ driver 421rwhp 5.4 3v S197, with the proper suspension, 425-430 or more rwhp, weight reduction, and traction combined, I think the 5.0's will be capable of 10's N/A.

I dont think this 5.0 or any other for that matter will run 10's N/A It will take a power adder or at the very least more displacement IMHO not saying it is impossible but I just dont see it.
