If you take the same vehicle, ie: cab configuration, drive, weight, etc. with equal drivers, driving each vehicle to it's full potential. How could the V10 win?
Now take same vehicles with the same drivers and add a supercharger to the V10 and a chip to the 6.0L. (V10= 320ish rwhp / 500ish rwtq) (6.0L 350ish rwhp / 650ish rwtq). Again, how could the V10 win?
Now I will say, in stock configuration you cannot just go from an idle and stab the throttle, in this case I think the V10 would be the better bet. BUT, take the 6.0L and apply the brake and go pedal to build some boost off the line........... 6.0L all the way.

Perhaps you guys are right in the world of butt dyno's and manufacturer's flywheel horsepower and torque numbers? I'll wait until some of you others with supercharged V10's post the numbers. I've checked many times for someone on several sites... but everyone always seems to be waiting for one reason or another. Just don't want to hit the dyno with just the supercharger... well maybe after a few more mods and a lot more money!

Brian did sell the buisness but he is now in charge of tuning at SCT (Superchips custom tunes). A friend of mine is getting set up as a dealer in the St. Louis area and will be able to dyno tune for superchips. I'm going to have him modify my tune to compensate for all my mods since the original tune. Brian just sent me an off the self tune for my 03 Cobra and it works great. I'll let you know when that friend of mine gets set up and tunes my truck on the dyno again.
