360 magnum vs 5.7 hemi

Well a 5.7 makes a lot more power than any LA engine and when you apply the same mods to both engines the difference gets even greater. The 5.7 gets even more power for 09 where its rated at 370 HP.

The 6.1 is only a computer upgrade away from 500HP with 54 less cubes than the legendary 426 hemi.

Plus these engines make all this power while still pulling down 20+ mpg and not polluting the environment.

The modern v8's whether its the new hemi, a GM LS or Ford mod motor are so far superior to the iron from the 60's its hard to even make a comparison. Its this superiority that makes them so popular to hot rodders for engine swaps into the old cars.

Just don't forget that our legendary muscle cars off the show room floor could hardly break into the 14's in the 1/4 where a new SRT-8 Charger is scrathing at the 12's in show room trim. These cars were not very good perfromers by todays standards.
