2012 SS L99 to have 420hp?

I was reading in a car magzine that the 2012 SS L99 is going to have 420 hp. I couldn't find anything online to support that. Was it just a typo?

Can't remember the magazine, sorry. I haven't found anything online to say it the hp went up, so it's most likely a typo.

There was a rumour a while ago that the 2012 V8s were going to get a power bump of roughly 20 hp. But GM announced the 2012 changes a while ago, and more powerful V8's weren't mentioned.
