Answer is Chevy historicaly does not <most recently beyond it's past where it did> upgrade a certified powerplant. They will however redesign and engineer the previous technology with new when it does upgrade, but that will not be the case here. I believe all the LS7's available will be shelf ready for one year of Z/28 availabilty. The agreement is running out for the build, and BG is going to make crate motors. So, we will have to dance with who brought us. But, since hobbs mentioned it, and I urge those who can do something about it, lets do a blow out GMPP upgrade on the LS7, and call it a day. Just ask for it Chevy....

The only reason I mentioned it is with the LS6, GM modified it bringing the power to 405 HP from 385 HP. I think the LS1 even saw a similar power bump from improved cam profiles. With modern computer modeling and simulation software, they may be able to push the power up without making any major modifications.
