The LSA is really what I am hoping for. I think we can get to LS9 Power with a pulley and maybe a cam change. Not to mention all the bolt on mods....

I think a pulley change would get us there. I can't remember the cam specs' on the LSA but I know the SC is smaller, however, the intake/intercooler is more efficient on the LSA than the LS9, from what I've read. Maybe LS9 needs a bigger SC to make up for the inefficiency of the intake as opposed to LSA.
I'm thinking pulley, tune, intake, and catback will be pretty close to LS9 power. Let's just keep our fingers crossed... I don't think Camaro will come from GM much more than $45K if anything. We've been told again-and-again it wil be comparable to Mustang, so...

I hear ya' on this. I wouldn't complain if I had the $$$. I don't think anyone in their right mind would pay $70K for a Camaro, LS9 or not. I love the car and all, but that's almost crazy. That's not to say I couldn't find a way to spend another $30K in modifications on a $40K car though. I just mean a stock $70K car. Like you said: horsepower is money. Keep the Ti rods and bigger SC and I'd be plenty happy with an LSA.

he he he. I like the ZR-1. And LS9. One cool thing that I noticed in the video is that the supercharger whine has been nearly eliminated. So all you hear is 600+hp beastlyness. 'nother cool fact is that the brakes were developed for the Ferari Enzo and FXX. The ZR-1 wont be the fastest car in the world, but it won't get embarassed on the track by Enzos either. I don't think there is another car that sells for ~100k that can make such a claim. Makes you wonder what all that F1 derived tech is good for.
