When the C7 was getting ready to launch there were people here claiming that the base model would be over 80k according to "Sources". Others swore up...

LT4 blower speed table and limits?

Is there a table somewhere that shows pulley combos and blower rpm for the LT4's stock blower? What are the safe limits on the stock blower?

Reading this forum is like a flashback to 2013....

Exact same conversations, over and over again:

Price, expect pricing to be around the same as the C7.

The price is not going to skyrocket. People do this all the time with vettes, and I have no...

No one knows for sure.

There are lots of rumors; the most likely combo will be the new "LT5" engine, and the new 10 speed auto found in the Camaro ZL1.
