And although the LS7 isn't likely for the Camaro, I'd really like to see it in a ZL-1.

That is what I'm thinking.
I think I too have read that the LSA or LS8 will be replacing the LS7, which I'm fine with. The LS9 is a lot more different than the LSA, as I'm sure many people have already read: different S/C, oil squirters for the pistons, forged pistons, different intercooler, different head bolts, etc. It makes more boost than LSA does also. I wonder what power it ends up with though, since it makes peak power at redline (which I suspect would continue to rise if you were to raise fuel cutoff at 7000.)
Anyhow, I'm only suggesting a SC powerplant for the top of the line, not the base.
