6.1 to get the 5.7 upgrades?
Anyone think or know if the 6.1 in the SRT8 will get the 5.7 style upgrades instead of bringing out a totally new engine? I think the 6.1 would benefit a lot from the variable cam timing much like the 5.7 and viper V10 have and would also, along with other slight improvements get this engine to the 475-500 horsepower level fairly effectively and much cheaper. I know we all dream of a new 600 horse monster hemi but in reality with GM and Ford already cutting back or even cancelling in some cases, new V8 development, what do you think the future holds for the 6.1? I really haven't heard any reliable rumors about any upgrades so does anyone have any info?
