It really doesn't matter what's next, it's going to cost so much that most won't even try. I'd love the Carbon/fiberglass hood but I'm still chewing on the cost vs. 30 lbs. of weigh saving vs. looks. It's all about the Benjamins.

apples to oranges les. you cant compare what the l/t did for the v8 and expect that to be the case with the v6. different torque curve and hp curve.
i think kleeman has cams for you to drop in but at almost 3k$ its just not worth the cost.
if you want to drop 30lbs off the engine just get a shuriken battery . theres 30 lbs of savings for under 100$
