Fact of the matter is, once the Camaro comes out, it SHOULD have 500hp based on the current rise in HP. If the CURRENT 6.2L LS3 makes 430 HP, then in 2-3 years, it SHOULD be making 500hp EASY!
Think about it, in 2002, the Z06 Corvette made 400hp. 5 years later its at 505hp.
That's 20hp/year... so if we start with a 430hp LS3, and add 20hp/year then the 2010 engine SHOULD be making about 490hp (or round up) 500hp!
That works out just right. Plus, this technology is a nice low risk, high-benefit way to achieve that goal... AND it makes the same power as the current LS7 while costing a lot less.
Good times man, good times.
