The Generation V Chevy small blocks with have SIDI, VVT, E85-capability (maybe), among other things a "new combustion process". Those potent little powerplants should make other V8s look like toys.

The new small blocks are due out shortly...probably in the C7 Corvette first, if I had to guess...but the next model year Camaro isn't likely to get a brand new engine...it's too soon.
Yes, I was not suggesting SIDI be slapped onto the existing engine, but that engine be replaced with a SIDI one which I pray has been in development within GM for some time now And if the 'big news' for 2012 model is the Z28 I'll be happy with the 2013 model being SIDI
