400 hp is plenty for me, so my 2006 will be a keeper.

Waste of money. You can get the power out of your current engine just by adding a few modifications here and there.

I'll keep my LS2 powered C6

I don't use the HP I have now, so no. My next trade will be for a second year production model of the C7.

Do you anticipate the C7 will come out with less than 400 HP so you have a chance to use it all JK

If I was that worried about it I wouldn't have ordered an 07.
Besides, Lingenfelter can cure any HP gap.

It will be only 5 to 10 hp at the most

Not worth it

This change comming is about displacement and a larger more fuel efficent size
