Don't CTS-Vs use that, too, like ZR1s (and their LS9s)?

I am not sure but it could be possible although the press release only mentions the Z06 and the ZR1 as the only other production engines to receive this treatment.

You're absolutely correct... I noticed that, too, after I posted. Hmm... Regardless - thanks for posting this information!!! It's definately a plus for ZL1 guys

Not sure how this would translate to the real world, I assume it makes it more reliable for owners to increase the boost?

It translates into more hp and a very reliable engine. Two very important real world issues.

Yes and it keeps the cylinder bores round after you bolt the head down, ensuring good ring seal which is critical for power.

I had read that was one of the processes that took place on ZR1, but didn't know Z06 and ZL1 use the same.
Nice find! |

So does the CTS-V's LSA go through this same process? If it doesn't, this could be a good indicator that the ZL1 will surpass the current CTS-V power rating.
