I agree that the 5.7 has alot more heat than a year ago and with 370-375 hp puts it right where the 440s left off. And with a little intake and exhaust bolt ons will put it on par with the 6.1. But with those same bolt ons the 6.1 stays out in front and pulling. And with the SRT-8 you get better suspension and better brakes just to start with. If your just looking at hp then go with the R/T and bolt ons. Fresh open air intake with headers and catback exhaust. But remember that an SRT-8 can do those also and it will always have more potential with the 6.1. tuneability is more than likely the same.
