Lets not forget that the 1650hp version of the 1350hp Mercury Racing engine runs of race fuel.

I think in the C7 with teh GEn 5 engines, we are going to see the equivalent of the Cadillac/Camaro ZL1 with the LSA and the ZR1 with it's LS9.

The ZO6 GEN 5 engine will be a warmed over blown LT1 with around 600hp, and the ZR1 GEN 5 engine will be a high output version with the better internals. Although even the naturally aspirated LT1 gets the forged pistons and crank. Something only the LSA(forged crank/hyper pistons)/LS9(forged pistons/crank). I'm wondering what blower they might use. Maybe a COPO Camaro screwcharger?

12657236 LT1 wet sump
12657248 LT1 dry sump
Either crate engine is $10,700. Quite a jump over the GEN 4 LS3 engine 19256529 for $5,800. Heck and LSA engine 19257899 can be had for $8600.
