Sorry I just don't know much about forced injection.

There's IPF and Trifecta tunes for the Regal (and ATS, Malibu) 2.0T that produce some serious gains. Issue with the Regal (non-GS) is getting that power to the road.* It's easy to chirp the tires at stock.

* this is assuming a 2014 or newer Regal 2.0T with 259hp/295tq. Older Regal 2.0T engines are tuned way down, like 220hp and less tq as well.

Start one of those go fund me things. Come up with a catchy tagline and you could get some people to donate to the cause.

$439 million investment in Bowling Green.

Some of that goes towards the new paint shop. What about the rest?

Maybe preparing for something that has an engine in an odd location for GM...?

Was thinking the same thing when I saw that on autoblog

I read on the Motor Trend app that the ATS V+ will get the LS7. Did you already post that?

Just thought I would pass it along.

Is the LS7 even still in active, serialized production anymore?

I know there are still LS7 engines for warranty replacements that are held back, as well as the LS7 crate motors..

I just said this in another thread on Camaro6 ...

I find it extremely unlikely that an ATS-V+ will use an LS7. Its a great engine, but I can think of 4 scenarios that make more sense off the top of my head.

An even higher boost TTV6 with 500 or more hp
Something from a brand new DOHC V8 engine family that's exclusive to Cadillac with unguessable hp
A tweaked LT1 in the upper 400/low 500 hp range
Some new large displacement, high revving gen V replacement to the LS7.

The first two make the most sense for an ATS-V+, given the direction that the brand seems to be heading.
