SO, while I am highly excited about a 450ish HP LS3 in the 5th gen, with all the talk about the 2008 Corvette specifications being released THIS WEEKEND, rumor has it that it may be 430 HP, I could see another LS3 with what, 405 HP maybe?
I guess my point is, there could be a variety of LS3s with different HP ratings (different cam grinds, different computer programming, different exhaust, injection or supercharged, etc.) available for different applications (Camaro base V8, SS, Z28, even Impala SS and so on) as opposed to LS3 OR L92.
I'm sure others have considered this but I just don't think I've read it. What do you think 3whiterag?

I am not sure I understand your point completely. I think what you are saying is not to expect the LS3 to be rated at 430 HP accross the board on all applications,which I would agree with. I mean, I doubt they will be using the same exhaust, intake, heads, cam, etc for all applications. I think the LS3 in the vette is expected to use the L92 intake and L76 heads which is a great combo! I wouldn't expect this on other applications because of the cost.
