Not to mention the fun factor of pulling up to a sibling 4.6 or 4.8 at a stoplight and pounding them at the green. They wouldn't be able to find their jaw for days.
I wouldn't expect a huge improvement from a dig. Without all wheel drive, with transfer case actuator disconnected on my 4.8is, I can smoke the rear tires fairly easy. With all 4 wheels pulling, makes a huge difference. I can still light up all 4 wheels, but it takes some effort to do. It really pulls.

Once it gets up to speed, I am sure the LSX will do its thing.
