Yep ASG 5.0L .. warmed over Caddy 4.9L .. he post on w-body .. the 4.9L basically bolts on .. but ASG stopped production on the 5.0L and no longer makes kits

The 5.0L he has was "dynoed" at 285hp/ 295lbs compared to the Caddy 4.9L which had something like 200hp and 275lbs .. The website tells you about it .. They stopped production due to a "lack of sales"! ..
That motor is all low end (4.9) and is NOT meant to be beaten on like the LQ1 ..
I also believe I heard that a W-Body with that ASG 5.0 still ran in the 15s for 1/4mile .. and for $6grand$ or so .. I would definately want more!

There is not a single thing that I like or respect on that car.
Yes, I still have the video of him getting beat by a 3.4 5-speed at the track. He ran like a 15.4, the 3.4 a 15.1. It wasn't his car, but another ASG Lumina. A guy that drove it said "it is really weird to drive a Z34 auto that will smoke the tires effortlessly..."
