Of course the LS9 is not the only supercharged V8 out there

Ford Racing offers mighty supercharger kit 2011+ 5.0-liter Mustangs that produce up to 624 horsepower and over 500 lb-ft of torque. I was lucky enough to spend a few days with one of these monsters last year, and despite the enormous output, it's remarkably tractable on the street.

Earlier this week General Motors announced the production of the 100 millionth small-block V8 engine, a supercharged 634-hp, 6.2-liter LS9 destined for a Corvette ZR1.

Two years ago I had my own opportunity build an LS9 at GM's Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI and lived to tell the tale on Autoblog. The PBC is a special facility where GM hand builds low-volume but very powerful engines for some of it's highest performing vehicles. Here's an in-depth piece I wrote on the LS9 http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/19/detroit-2008-the-heart-of-the-king-the-ls9-is-born/

The FCC deserves applause for releasing its preliminary report on the proposed AT&T-T-Mobile buyout.

AT&T retracted its merger application when it became clear that the FCC was not going to approve in the hopes of keeping this report buried. With the Justice Department preparing to fight the merger in court, AT&T clearly wanted to keep any potentially negative evidence out of sight. The public's right to know is far more important than any corporation's right to privacy. If we had this sort of transparency from all government departments over the past decade, America might be in a much better place right now.
