they wouldn't put it only in the z28. but there could be different sizes put in the other cars. ie 6.2 L in the Z28 but a 5.7 in the camaro ss.

Well - considering the LLT makes more than 50 horse' in Camaro than the LY7 does in my wifey's Malibu, maybe that is a good call. It's my understanding the shortblocks of both about the same so that leaves the intake manifold and valvetrain among the biggest differences, aside from the DI. I guess it's reasonable to expect similar gains with a DI 6.2

and the tune/camshafts/etc

look at the LS3 in the vette compared to in the Camaro. similar, but the vette still edges out on power.

or,
they could FI the DI for 600+, Oh yeah baby!

I personally would like to see the Z/28 as a handling option. Kinda like the stang bangs have the Track Pack...

GM wont make the Z28 too ridiculous or it will cut into Vette sales... or vice versa...

2cnd chance · 11-05-2009, 05:39 PM

As the OP I should of already voted, but I wanted to think a little more based on your comments. I believe the Z/28 based on future and past should have the DI Gen 5 engine.
The 302 was late 60's better tech, and today the soon to be here DI Gen 5 fits the bill. Want more power go FI.

It's gotta be a CAR not an option. The Z/28 has been a car for too long.

I'll do more digging when I can. I'm currently at work.

The amount of research, time consumption, and other issues would probably make it cost considerably more than the already built LSA. Price is what is to be considered as much as the specs, and the only good balance between the two would be the LSA. I'll be the first to admit I'd rather have a N/A, but the point of Forced Induction is a cheaper method of raising power than to say, replace the current engine with a bigger one.

Again, this car needs to make around 550-600 HP to compete with the GT500. This is it's main competition, and a 500 HP motor, it being the LSA or DI V8, will simply not outperform the GT500. All in all, the cheapest way of achieving this HP range is the LSA.
