345hp 6.0L Vortec Max and the 360hp Duramax. Faster than Titan??

It looks like Chevy is playing the hp game by introducing the 345hp 6.0L (SS motor) on regular Silverado 1/2 ton extended cabs with the "LT" package. Also, they've upgraded the Duramax diesel to 360hp/650tq.

Has anyone had a chance to run against either one of these yet in their Titan?

The 345hp/380tq Vortec "Max" 6.0L, now available for Silverado "LT" extended cabs, should be about equal in performance to the Titan. I'm assuming this because the 2wd Silverado SS is usually a few tenths faster in the 1/4 mile. However, I think the SS comes with a 3.5" tuned exhaust system which helps it a little.

As for diesel power, the upgraded Duramax sounds pretty stout at least on paper. I think the old 310hp/605tq Duramax diesel's ran low 16's at best bone stock depending on model. However, the '06's with 50 more hp/tq should now be in the high 15's which is approaching Titan performance numbers. Any comments?
