so your telling me the ford cobra or gt has the same motor as a ford truck and that too much cylinder pressure is the problem Googgle that ---- ------ if you dont believe me. I've done more ford modular heads then I care to remember.

07 Silverado's are ------- ugly, interior is nice and they have great power. The 6.2L probably will be a good motor like the 6.0L but the 6.2's leak oil out the rear main theirs a TSB for it already
