Well that at least eliminates all of the "its only going to make 450hp" naysayers.

SAE testing was "just completed last week."
Thanks BlueOx for posting the link! Is it me or does that guy seem like he's smoked a bit too much whacky tobacco?

Well, the motor is certainly capable...it just comes down to the supportive hardware to manage it being absent.
They'll save that for mid gen update hp boost.

I take that as a no to your question, RC.

There's DEFINITELY something afoot here with this LT1 redline...
I've heard multiple conflicting statements from various internal engineers to GM. Something is up here...
Powertrain guys told me at the bash... 6600, this video says... 6600
Definitely talked to two test engineers that said they were at 7000rpm, and multiple instances were stated about 7100.
Interesting...
HOW bad *** would it be if you could gain 500rpm rev limit in track/race mode!
And/OR Z51 enables 500rpm higher limit in track/race mode due to additional dry sump and cooling system
You heard it from me first!!!!
