im sure you dont want to have to eat your words

I may have to... it all depends on how good the factory headers are and how much playing w/ the VVT can affect thigns. That said... 400 rwhp out of a 5.0 is a good bit NA. Plus, they're allready reving to 7k and at 11:1 compression. So you can't bump the compression much on pump gas.

This...

I think the C7 Corvette will have a 5.5 liter motor w/ cam phasing and DI making around 450 horse in the base model.

So they didn't stroke it... fine.... but give me heads and a cam on a LS1 and I cam make 460-490 rwhp w/ easy.... 500+ on a LS3 and 550+ on a LS7.

Hes talking about 3 valve stuff not 4 valve
